Very interesting to watch this video. I really didn't know that these views on math existed, but I suspected their existence. I (tried) to read a very interesting book: Godel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid. Basically, from what I understood (this is a very complex book), this book goes into how we give meaning to meaningless things, like numbers. But the book also questions whether math is a product of the universe, a product of our observations, or if it has always existed.

I've always wondered if there is other kinds of math out there in the universe...
