432 (and 9 for fun) - Degrees Of Separation Between Mathematics And Reality, And A Small Parallel To Simulation Hypothesis

TLDR: if you don't feel like reading a lot, then scroll down. the funner the fact, the bigger the font

first off, to be clear, i didn't discover any of this, and all the facts and figures can easily be googled. i just went through a lot of different claims, pulled the numbers, and did the math to verify. and verify i did...until i found myself face-to-face against an ancient scourge, known well by the prehistoric philosoraptors and mystical mathemagicians from days of yore...

was math invented or discovered? 

This question, whether math was invented or discovered, has been confronted by philosophers and mathematicians for almost as long as we have records dating back to the study of philosophy and mathematics (give or take an ancient civilization, since I'm referring to the ancient Greeks in this example). And in that time, we've come up with many theories in an attempt to answer said question, and they run the full gamut.
.
On one side, platonism (the modern flavor), which holds that things like abstract objects (take a perfect circle for example. we know defines it, an infinite set of points equidistant from a center point that form a continuous line. in a way, not only is it impossible to conjure up in reality, it's kind of impossible to even imagine in your head, unless you can imagine infinite stuff) ACTUALLY exist in a completely different dimension, not originating from our imaginings and never appearing in our physical reality, and so exist independently of us.
.
And on the other side, theories that view mathematics as a completely man-made system of useful abstractions, some even going so far as saying that these abstractions are ONLY useful to us, and do not actually correspond to any truth in reality (like fictionalist theory).

ok, so what's the answer?

And like all serious, great, eternal questions, this can only be answered with a cop-out: it really depends on your personal philosophy. To me, the question can be interpreted as whether or not it exists independently of us (and so would be easy to answer if you were a Platonist). So already, you can see how several distinct branches of philosophy could intersect that question with more questions: does anything exist independently of our (or yours alone specifically? or just mine? relative to who's asking the question) consciousness? how do we know anything exists prior to our experience of it? even if we imagined it completely spontaneously, does the fact that it corresponds to something existing in reality prior to our imagining qualify as discovery or invention? Etc. etc. etc.

Anyways, that's just some stuff for you to think about. Let's get to the fun stuff, and see if it might have an influence on your answer. The calculations below are somewhat organized with a purpose, but in case you want to just skip around, I'll put the more weird and mind-blowing stuff in a larger font for convenience.

to the maths!

like any theory worthy of consideration, we start with the great pyramid of giza. why?

the great pyramid's relationship to Pi

ok, so i know this is about 432 and 9, but i just want to use Pi to illustrate the purposefulness and precision that went into the construction.
.
.
.

base perimeter of great pyramid = 3,023.16 feet

original height of great pyramid = 481.3949 feet

base perimeter of great pyramid / original height of great pyramid = 3,023.16 feet ÷ 481.3949 feet = 6.280000058

6.280000058 ÷ 2 = 3.140000029 that's prettty close

(note: mainstream consensus seems to say that Ancient Egyptians thought Pi was about 3.16, and that it wasn't until Archimedes that it was recognized to be around 3.14...but personally, this was enough for me to start doubting that claim)

and now back to 432

so this is a cool coincidence:

the dimensions of the great pyramid correspond to

the dimensions of our planet at a scale of

1 to 432,000 (great pyramid : earth @ 1 : 432,000 scale)

.
.
.

original height of great pyramid = 481.3949 feet

481.3949 feet * 432,000 = 207,962,596.8 feet = 3,938.685 miles

3,938.685 miles = polar radius of earth (minus about 11 miles, or an error of about 0.2%)

.
.
.

base perimeter of great pyramid = 3,023.16 feet

3,023.16 feet * 432,000 = 1,306,005,120 feet = 24,734.94 miles

24,734.94 miles = equatorial circumference of earth ( minus about 70 miles, or an error of about 0.6%)

(note: the accurate calculation of the dimensions of the earth are typically credited to Eratosthenes around 300-200 B.C.; also suspicious of this claim now too)

interesting facts about 432Hz, just for fun

• pythagorean tuning was set to A432
• the original Stradivarius' were designed to tune to A432
• the american music industry began using A440 standard in 1926
• modern orchestras began use A440 in 1936
• there's a LOT more on the significance of 432hz, but it's not that relevant here

432 & 9 ...and Time?

let's start with 432

• 24 hours in a day
• 12 hours in half a day
• 720 minutes in half a day
• 4320 seconds in half a day
  .
  .
  .

seconds in a minute = 60

minutes in an hour = 60

60 * 432 = 25,930

as promised, Ancient Aliens Guy HAS been vindicated in my post HERE

also, Wikileaks release a document from an Apollo 14 astronaut who claims we're already working with extraterrestrial intelligence. Seriously, I'm actually not joking right now.
