So what do you think? Is there any evidence that our number system

really explaining whats going on or is simply a conceptual platform to

it come to such trivial problems as the ones above, how / why do we
trust it when it comes to uncovering the laws of the universe?
We do not know that there are any laws of the universe and, even
if there are, that these laws are comprehensible to humans.
I think you misunderstand what physicists are trying to do;

Just what we need, another Darwin-Award winning physicist. Better cram
that smarmy "scientistic" attitude, Marty, the next time you consider
jumping from a cliff ... and just --ohmeohmy-- aren't so sure there's any
necessary reason you will pulped upon hitting ground.
Only those who live long enough get to write sciences' laws .....
