Hey Bill Nye, 'Do Laws of Math Apply near Black Holes and the Edge of Space?'
Calculus was invented by Isaac Newton in the middle of the 17th century, so does a historically contingent event hold true everywhere in the universe, even near ...
========== My name is Thomas and I'm from Los Angeles
California and I was wondering if mathematics is truly universal? I'm not disputing it I'm
just really wondering if mathematics, such as calculus, really like is the same near
the edges of the universe? For all that we know or like near black holes because do mathematical
laws breakdown? Thanks. Thomas, that is a great question about mathematics.
As far as we know it works everywhere. Now, if we go to a place, as you suggested near
a black hole, the edge of the universe, and mathematics doesn't work, we would say to
ourselves well there's just mathematics that we don't understand and we have to add some
more math to our cannon of mathematical equations. It's very reasonable that there's math that's
nobody kno...
