    This comment has to come from somebody without a PhD. LOL Let me tell you something, a PhD doesn't mean much and most of the time, it (using s/he is too much trouble and offends the 36th sex) only knows some very basic concept of other field, but lots of specialized knowledge in its tiny and narrow field. These panel members are a rare collection and I see some of these in my own field once in a blue moon (I happen to be a hybrid and ran a few conferences in the past so I know a bit broader than most average scientists).

    Mathematics is a way to bound the simulation of possible conclusions to those derivable via some set of axioms. Though those conclusions are implied by our axioms, the axioms are phrasings of things we have reason to believe implicitly, a priori.

    How math of aliens may be different? This question has not been deeply explored. I think, they would have different choices of axioms for logic and set theory to model the same phenomena. They could have different axiomatization of probability, and so on. They could be finitists, discovering finite difference equations, rather than differential equations. They could be more abstract, not limiting mathematics to mathematical operations between objects, but exploring properties of objects under arbitrary sets of operations, and so on. However, mathematical philosophy aside, their math would be applicable to solve physical and practical problems. So, imagine what other algorithms could solve the same physical problems that we have, and you can discover what alternative mathematics aliens may have.

    Mathematics, also, cannot be completed. If you disagree with validity of the total generality of some principle, for every possible reality, you will amend it and from those amendments will follow consequences that you will either totally agree with or not. As well, if there are things you can prove that your system cannot, you may just want to embed that ability into the consequences of the grammar you decide to use. What functions are the minimal abilities of a logical system? Can't you just say that, "yea, the world i'm thinking of doesn't have that axiom, so that doesn't happen".

    13:26 Great insight on the topic of whether mathematics are to be discovered or invented. The notion of "real numbers" is an excellent example of something that makes perfect sense in the human mind -since it agrees with our intuition for "movement"- but does not necessarily reflect how the universe works (especially if we assume that space-time is quantized). It's our way to understand reality.

    12:04 - This is incorrect. At its fundamental level, biology also adheres to physical laws. Even Richard Dawkins mentioned on his channel that Darwinian natural selection would be the primary mechanism by which organisms form and evolve. This suggests that extraterrestrial life could potentially resemble us.

    It would be easy to agree with all of them and praise them. I feel that ultimately we developed mathematics to serve the demands of our physical world and it’s physics as we understood it. In another world where another totally different physical world exists, Taos and Lauries of that world probably developed mathematics totally differently. Just my 2 cents.

    @ 25:30 "We have a small number of axioms from which we can build all the mathematics that is known today", what does that mean? So is all of mathematics is axiomatizable? I thought that question was settled. Godel's incompleteness theorem anyone?

    +SalEd LirO'c What are you talking about? It's not a question. All of mathematics we do is axiomatized (people don't actually think about axioms when they work all the time, ebcaue it isn't important). But all mathematics known today can be built up from propositional and predicate logic. It's not a question that Godels theorems prove or disprove.

    Grothendick Thanks for reply. I was thinking more along the following lines. "Principia Mathematica was an attempt to describe a set of axioms and inference rules in symbolic logic from which all mathematical truths could in principle be proven. As such, this ambitious project is of great importance in the history of mathematics and philosophy, being one of the foremost products of the belief that such an undertaking may be achievable. However, in 1931, Gödel's incompleteness theorem proved definitively that PM, and in fact any other attempt, could never achieve this lofty goal; that is, for any set of axioms and inference rules proposed to encapsulate mathematics, either the system must be inconsistent, or there must in fact be some truths of mathematics which could not be deduced from them." Quotation taken from: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principia_Mathematica Best wishes.

    One thing is to have a formal system in which to express all mathematics, and other (proved to be impossible in the case of Arithmetic by Gödel) thing is to ask for that system to be complete (so that all meaningful statements in that language are decidable in a finite number of steps).
