3. According to the video, why does nature follow the rules of Mathematics?
It's true that mathematics allows us to quantitatively describe the universe; when
used properly, it's a really useful instrument. But unlike a mathematical entity, the
universe is a physical one. All the conveniences that make our lives what they
are today wouldn't exist without mathematics. Now consider how different our
world would be now if mathematics had never been invented. Without time, there
would be no calendars, no structures, no transportation, no food, and so on.
Even if the language of the universe is ultimately mathematics the universe will
still exist even if there is no mathematics.
