   Truth, is a loaded word, but yeah…

   “In mathematics, there are imaginary numbers which cannot be represented directly in reality (the physical world). For example, you can’t have i apples where

   i = √-1 (square root of -1)

   Can we then say that in some sense mathematics is not truth, assuming truth in this sense is that which is manifest or possible in reality?”

   Is mathematics truth? As in the sense of that which is manifest or possible in reality?

   Could depend on which truth you mean, trivial or fundamental.

   True, to a point.

   Often, when I try to describe mathematics to the layman, I find myself struggling to convince them of the importance and consequence of "proof". I receive responses like: "surely if Collatz is true...

  “True to a point” means its not always true, therefore, not true.
