Mathematics: The Language of the Universe

Mathematics lacks a well-defined, widely accepted definition. However, it is safe to say that mathematics
is concerned with the interaction of quantities, variables, structure, and change. Mathematics is an
abstract concept, not a physical object.
Although Mathematics lacks a widely accepted definition, it is widely accepted that it is astounding how
powerful mathematics is at describing our physical world. The accuracy and efficiency of mathematics
describing the tangible things around us and its concepts make it a vast, independent reality like nature
that could entirely exist without humanity.
It is also seen that mathematical concepts are inherent. Its inherent presence in nature makes it a language
that only an independent force can fully comprehend and reciprocate. Mathematics has always been the
language of the universe. It reveals itself in nature, like how the inherent presence of the Fibonacci Series
is seen in the petals of different kinds of flowers, the spirals in the scales of a pine cone. It is also
observed that many plants have a pattern in their leaf alignment, and this pattern is again a Fibonacci
series.

Starting from any leaf, after one, two, three, or five turns of the spiral, there is always a leaf aligned with
the first, and, depending on the species, this will be the second, the third, the fifth, the eighth or the
thirteenth leaf.

We continually see how the universe reveals that it is parallel to the mathematical concepts around us.
Thus, the connection between mathematics and the universe is becoming more and more enjoyable. With
the current revelations that we see, we are reminded that mathematics is indeed the language of the
universe.
