Math is a belief system! At least as far as you trying to apply it to the past or future.

How is math a belief system? One does not have to believe in it, but it is there, none the less..When you get paid-addition,when you spend it-subtraction.
Do your job-the money is added to your account..no belief necessary.:p

I just believe that when I get paid, addition, and when I spend, addition. Never any money problems. It's perfect, you should try it! :D

Math is a belief system. When you try to apply the laws of this present state ( by letters and symbols) to the unknown past of distant universe.

Then explain to me, explicitly, why mathematics change when you use it.
Math is a representation of stuff. When each letter and number is representing present state physical only universe and dimension stuff, then you cannot connect the dots to a different state.

That did not explain how math changes, nor is it correct. Math is not a representation of stuff. Try again.

Of course it is. If we use a number for miles, it represents distance. If we use "E" for energy, it represents earth state energy. Etc.

See the bolded. We use math for representation. And that's just one of the uses. What math is doesn't change because of what it's used for.

Yes if it represents ghosts or spiritual things it changes. One cannot carry over the concepts of the fishbowl to the eternal state. I mean you could use math to say the average weight of a human was maybe 177 pounds. But if you added all the folks in heaven to that and angels, your math would be silly.

The math would still be the same, it would be your use of the math that would be silly.

Whatever...in other words the result would not be correct.
That would all depend on what you're trying to do, the error won't lie in the mathematics, it will either lie in how you (or someone else) applied it or (/and) how you interpret what you've applied/produced.

You can't apply the physical near earth space and laws to the far past, heaven, the future, or probably even deep space. So any math that uses numbers or letters that are supposed to apply there actually don't.

If you were on the bottom of a deep lake, and measuring how psi was working, and you made a distance equation (say that a decrease would happen so fast as we headed up) that math would only be good as long as you were still in water!
