How does mathematics related to logic, to reason? Is the potential truth of a verbal statement invented or discovered? If I say "Maths is discovered (or maths in invented)" is that statement discovered or invented?
Does some maths not make observations of purely numerical phenomena? Is all maths applicable to the universe? Does some maths exceed potential limitations in the universe, for example perhaps maths dealing with infinity?
Is perhaps the universe, perhaps ultimately purely mathematical? Will one day in thousands of years a formula be dis coved which explains the whole universe?
How about a 3D version like google earth 3D?

I read numerous books as a kid which assured me that by now people should be living on mars, I should be able to holiday on the moon, and that trains would be attached to sky high buildings..
I am feeling rather let down.. At least if a 3D version of google mars and moon was created I could pretend... Why can't i turn around in google earth and navigate towards other planets? Damn it. I'm getting old I can't wait much longer!
Modern technology is rather disappointing. I consider mankind primitive until we have halted the aging process, created attractive slave robots with intellect exceeding albert einstein's, and are all wearing designer label virtual reality contact lenses with 500x built in zoom.
Ah well I can always dream...

Sorry and I had to had, are not all discoveries indeed interpretations? Or merely electrical impulses in our brain, tools of communication.
