The difference is that if something is proven mathematically it's 100% certain and will not change. In other sciences you may be taught things that later turn out to be flat out wrong.
Bingo, I was taught in genetics class in the 1990s that RNA played a role but DNA was the primary driver and now my understanding is the current consensus is RNA is the primary driver.
When I was growing up, Minnie was the primary Driver, but now the consensus says that it's Adam.
Not if it's later shown that your set of axioms lead to a contradiction.
In that case have fun re-proofing everything with new axioms.
Not here to start shit, genuinely curious what people think about Gödel's incompleteness theorems in relation to us being able to "know" math
Not a mathematician but the way I understand it, is that it merely shows that there are unprovable problems, not that nothing can be proven.
Sounds hella sus now that you mention it 🤔
