There is some reality behind mysticism but what I'm talking about is hard science - but most don't get it cause you don't start exploring it until you get to classes like Quantum Physics which I never needed - although I did take other lower (200 and 300 level) physics classes.

It gets much more complex than I can explain.  I never got farther than calculus but what I'm referring to is true - you're comparing these numbers on the surface.  For example it's like saying violet is not red and ignoring all the inherent properties inside that higher and much hotter frequency (violet - the hottest stars are violet not red, yet there is red inside of their physical properties which you cannot easily observe).

With numbers it's much more complex and like I said it gets into really complex Quantum Physics theories.  I've read some papers on these theories and I only understand some parts.  Enough to comprehend numbers matter more than most people could possibly imagine.

If you're good at math and curious about just how deep simple numbers go just read up on something like the ABC Conjecture.  You'd think the simple Linear Algebra equation a + b = c is very straight forward - exactly as you tried to explain.  Spend just an hour reading on how deep that goes and how much physics is actually involved and number properties which the human eye cannot see nor fathom and you'll get an idea what I'm referring to.  

Coincidentally The ABC Conjecture was just supposedly solved and some think the Genius behind it was non other than Satoshi.  So I'm surprised you Bitcoin experts (lecturing me) don't know more about what I've been saying.  His (supposedly Satoshi) solution is so complex that not even teams of PhD mathematicians are able to figure out how he did it or what any of it means.  

But researching it for yourself (if you took at least stats and calculus) will give you a much deeper meaning in the infinite nature of numbers and how they do carry their properties as you square them, multiply them etc.  There are changes within that new number but the fundamental properties of say 7 or 3, they're still existent and functioning in the new number.  

Numbers carry real physical properties (as real as gravity) which is something most people don't understand which is why I tried hard to use the "right" numbers.
