    Discovery a truth of the universe is not going to affect the truth of the universe.

    You’re appearing to claim something nonsensical. The sort of wow-bang nonsense one reads about in pop-science magazines.

      (I’m going to abrasively emphasize the conjunctions more, because I feel they’re being glossed over)

      IF the truths of our universe are completely mathematically and axiomatically bound, THEN any proof derived within it might have a chance of upsetting a given axiom given the either incomplete or inconsistent nature of mathematics as declared by Gödel, the ramifications of which COULD be dire in such a universe.

      I’m NOT saying our universe IS mathematically bound. I’m also NOT saying that a newly discovered universal axiom WILL change the structure of such a universe.

      I actually believe that maths merely describes our reality at varying scales.

      I am presenting an interesting idea that for some reason is being taken quite literally, and now am having to get defensive about it as if it’s a deeply-held belief of mine…
