While the Greeks played a large role in math, they are hardly alone. Many other cultures contributed greatly to our understanding. Given how incredibly successful mathematics are for so many varied applications, your burden of proof is absurdly high.

What do you mean incredibly successful? That math can't even explain how a rabbit could overcome a tortoise in a race.

I mentioned Max Planck and his work on a discrete universe that isn't infinitely divisible.

Yes, that is a good example. Zeno was right in that the universe is non-continuous. The ancients got it wrong.

That's one of the big problems with finding a Grand Unified Theory. Quantum Mechanics says that the universe is discrete, and that there are discrete units of space and time, while General Relativity says that the universe is continuous in space and time. The concepts are not compatible.

are you serious?

I am the hare. You are the tortoise.

I travel at 10km/hr you travel at 1 km/hr.

you have a 5 km headstart.

In one hour I have travelled 10km from zero. You have travelled 1km from 5.

Clearly I am ahead by 4km.  My 5 year old son could work this out, and he has not begun grade 1 of school.

The sun goes under the earth when the moon is up. Look,

if this is so, and the moon is not self illuminating, how can i still view the moon at night when the sun is below the firmament?
Light cannot penetrate earth. Is there an explanation?
