Honestly it's a straw man. because this is a construction of the universe using mathematics so all i have to do is tweak the construction. So I know n...

Okay, i don't need to understand every detail of every theory to realize that this explains a lot if true.

Okay, this is true of mathematics. Analogy everything is done in euclidean geometry, but that doesn't account for gravity bending space. Another point...

I really hope this is true now, because set theory is among the coolest pure math subject. And it could have vast physical applications potential? But...
