Is mathematics really the language of the universe? ✍️
Math is nature’s way of keeping things in order. From the paths of planets to the shape of flowers, everything follows mathematical patterns. What’s wild is that equations often predict things — like black holes — before we

Nikola Tesla had an intense case of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and he was fixated on the number three. He reportedly felt compelled to do things in threes or multiples thereof. For example, he often walked around a building three times before entering it.

In the 7th century, negative numbers were used in calculations in India which was innovative because Europeans dismissed these numbers as absurd until the 17th century, when they gained widespread acceptance due to their practical use in accounting and bookkeeping.

Numbers exist only in our minds. There is no physical entity that is number 1. If there were, 1 would be in a place of honor in some great museum of science, and past it would file a steady stream of mathematicians gazing at 1 in wonder and awe.

How Alexander Friedmann corrected Einstein's mistakes ✍️
Alexander Friedmann did a detailed analysis of Einstein's equations where he plugged in the 'universe' and didn’t make the same mistake Einstein made. Based on the result, he made two predictions about the Universe which
