is math discovered or invented?

Neither. It is an illusion in your head And it ends with s

What is math? :)

Invented. Based on an abstraction we call "numbers".

Neither. It's a tool used to describe and prove/disprove new theories. (In the same way that language was neither discovered nor invented, but individual languages were invented).

Neither, it developed or evolved, how ever you want to call it. It is in us, starting from basic stuff like hey i eat 1 of my 2 banananas so i got only 1 left. That's math. Some genuises then combined equations and that did the magic to create formulas and theories :)

A lot of it is just made up, like math that "proves" black holes exist. Black Holes exist only in the minds of mathematicians. Even Steven Hawkings is beginning to see the truth.

There is, I am it.

That means that I am not a mathematician. No black holes exist in my mind; or, if they do, I haven't seen them (should I try using a mirror?).

[Super Lloyd]

you are confused! black hole is physics! math is just a tool about numbers and logic (certainly anything real) used by many people, including physicists....
