    Discovery a truth of the universe is not going to affect the truth of the universe.

    You’re appearing to claim something nonsensical. The sort of wow-bang nonsense one reads about in pop-science magazines.

      (I’m going to abrasively emphasize the conjunctions more, because I feel they’re being glossed over)

      IF the truths of our universe are completely mathematically and axiomatically bound, then any proof derived within it might have a chance of upsetting a given axiom given the either incomplete or inconsistent nature of mathematics as declared by Gödel.

      I’m NOT saying the universe IS mathematically bound. I actually believe that maths merely describes our reality at varying scales.

        Yes, we understood what you were saying.
        But your IF is followed by a nonsensical statement.
        It’s a precondition that can’t be true.

          Ah okay. Why not though? I thought mathematics as a whole suffers from a lack of proof of some of its axioms, which if disproven could spell trouble.
