Hi Alex,

I understand that you are very familiar with physics and mathematics, but you are not so familiar with the philosophy of science or the philosophy of mathematics. As far as I can see, this is your weak link in our discussion.

>>>This is remarkable difference between humanities (which are creation of pure human imagination) and science (which exist independent of humans).>>Why is alien, Egyptian, Greek, Arabic and whoever-else right triangle theorem (=Pithagor theorem) EXACTLY the same? Why regardless symbols you use, a^2+b^2= always c^2 in right triangle? Why for ALL civilizations sin^2+cos^2=1 ? Why F=-GMm/r^2 for a civilization around Sirius, around Sun and around star cross the Universe?
