So the argument that 1 + 1 = 2 is a universal truth is interesting.
The question of whether or not it would be true if there were no mind to learn it is also interesting.
Yes, I agree that math is worth exploring.
But math is rules making where physics is rules-exploring (or some better term). And I much prefer exploring the rules of the working world than exploring what can be crafted with clever rules.
There still is a lot of overlap.
