Mathematics describes the real world of atoms and acorns, stars and stairs, with remarkable precision. So is mathematics invented by humans just like chisels and hammers and pieces of music? Or is mathematics discovered-always out there, somewhere, like mysterious islands waiting to be found? Whatever mathematics is will help define reality itself.

Loved this video, as well as part one, but... Am I the only one thinking that it has nothing to do with its title? How's any of this about whether mathematics is discovered or invented?
To be fair, Paul *does* mention the 'M' word just before the video ends, so I guess it's not strictly clickbait (if you're into mathematics, that is...personally speaking, just the threat of having to manually compute a long-division function is enough to induce immediate chest pains with a syncopated heartbeat. Thankfully for me then, I discovered long ago that the menus for Mr Kuhn's CZcams fare rarely, if ever, accord with what he places before you on the actual plate. Nevertheless, by the time a nice washed-rind Gruyere is politely offered ('courtesy of the owner'), I have generally found the food here to be worth chewing over.
Hopefully you are now also *closer to the palatable truth.* 👨🏻🍳
Once again, great discussion, but the title of the video is incorrect
You can literally hear the interviewers stomach growling loudly throughout the interview ,especially at 2:38,5:55 and 5:59.
those are demons
😬
next time grab a snickers before the interview
😂😂😂😂
Any thoughts on the content of the discussion yet?
So many videos! It's like Christmas and I dont even celebrate Christmas!
They are all nonsense
@@DawnHub666 shut up

“Sufficiently imaginative” ❤
The noise at 2:41 is weird.???
a dog?

To frame the question correctly "Is creativity invented or discovered?" That seems like a goofy question. There seems to be a built in assumptions to the question.
The Nature of Reality forever elusive
-Peace & Love
Absolutely.
What can a being trapped in thought
ever know of the reality
of what his thoughts are merely about.
Neither Invented or Discovered but Evolved in a world of conscious thought that
itself evolved out of the social processes going on in groupish apes as they struggled to survive and replicate more often.
Maybe there were other universes (multiverse) in the past before our universe.
Maybe, like evolution in living organisms, there was an evolution regarding physical laws in different universes. Not all universes with different laws have survived. Maybe they had 1 second life, 100 years of life, and then evolved to another universe.
Maybe our universe is the only one that survived with these physical laws. Because these physical laws adapted to the environment (universe) and were able to survive to that day. This universe has also an end, then maybe after our universe cycle will continue.
0:01-0:16 is basically everyone lol
I would like to ask Paul Davies about The Great Art
The Great Art of mustache growing?
@@MattHanr 😊 if u don’t know, u do t know…
Reality doesn't exist without nothingness and nothingness doesn't exist without reality.
X-Files
Math is the language of the hostile alien vampires (greed).
The capitalist counting corpses can create stark, sterile space stations floating in emptiness and futuristic bombers. But unlike earthling poets, artists, musicians, mystics, human beings and creators of joy...the capitalist counting corpses that rule US can't create harmony (real intelligence) because vampires (greed) are ignorant (dead).
Vampires (greed) who suck the joy out of life have joined the zombies who eat the futures of their children.
Zombie Apocalypse is here and happening now.
If consciousness exsists in any universe it is not fake, if it exists then it is real, a "fake universe" is not fake, it is part of everything that exists, in order for a universe to be fake it cannot exsist, a "fake universe" is simply a different kind of universe
Indeed.
A conscious being is conscious whether of what he is conscious is real or simulated.
To understand is not to understand. Does a rock understand the nature of its hardness or the wind the meaning of its swirling dance and the motion of the leaves, when light falls like rain on the surface of the mathematical formulas and the twisting tongues of foolish apes. Why would there be logic or rules and laws? A mathematics of desire.
42.
Consciousness is BIOLOGY!!!
Possibly. But we dont know for sure. We do know that not all biology is conscious though. Like a chocolate cake.
@@user-dc4bl1cu2k Utter rubbish from an ignoramus!
Consciousness is SOCIOLOGY!!!
@@REDPUMPERNICKEL Idiot ignoramus!
No one says believing in God means stopping thinking.
I think there are some who do say that.
But they don't say all thought is stopped.
They say some thoughts concerning morality are stopped.
Many people find 'ethics' to be a very difficult topic and
some avoid the difficulty by referring and deferring to a book.
I love this... but all these British guys talk to damn fast... they need to use consciousness to realize they need to slow down so others fully understand and digest the information.
Thats one hell of a mustache...........
Clearly the answer is 42.
Was discovered. Stay in the bright side.
Mathematics is a language that
like all languages,
evolved for definite purposes in a variety of cultures.
These are old videos.
... and they're fake, assuming we live in a fake universe.
Ideas do not age.
Nothing really does.
Why?
Because time is just a convenient short cut way
to think about the relative movements of objects.
Universe is 13 billion years old.
