    Except when it comes to Math. Math is absolute, as long as you ignore statistics.

        And irrational imaginary numbers. I mean the numbers make sense, but it’s not like we can intuitively understand sqrt(-1).

          You’re thinking of imaginary numbers. Irrational numbers are real numbers that have an infinite number of decimal places and don’t repeat.

      Nah even statistics is perfectly logical and right, but not because truth is absolute (there may be such a thing, but we definitely don’t have access to it in that case. [At this time?]), but rather because math defined there to be a way in which all you derive from it is ‘absolutely’ true. It just might be ‘absolutely’ true in a system that isn’t ours, or isn’t useful for answering anything we want to ask…
