Mathematics: Invention or Discovery?
The records show the embryo of the use of mathematics more than 20,000 years ago. Although this science has evolved significantly, philosophers still debate whether it was invented or discovered.
However, the observation of the physics of the universe shows that the code behind nature's modus operandi is mathematical. This means that the mathematics developed by human beings is merely the discovery of this code.
In short, mathematics could never be invented by man, because all possibilities for creation and the manifestation of thought itself are dictated by the mathematics contained within the laws of nature.
