[QUOTE="daviddub, post: 60060044, member: 247716"] Uhhh... Time and math are unlike gallons and inches. Time and math are both immaterial realities. Time: We came up with words to refer to time, and its increments (which increments may be arbitrary), but the distinction between past, present, and future is not man-made, rather man-acknowledged. Math: We also came up with words/symbols to refer to quantities and their various relationships; these symbols and words are human conventions indeed. However, the quantities to which they refer are neither man-made, nor can they be altered by men. For instance, you and I may use a different word or number to refer to the quantity of letters in my post. However, there is a particular quantity herein which is what it is, regardless of whether we use the number 4 or 364 to refer to it. So again, we may change the symbols by which we refer to quantities, but the quantities are what they are. They are hardly man-made. [/QUOTE]
