No, mathematics and numbers do not exist independently of humans. People used to believe that they did when Euclidean geometry was the only geometry known. "A triangle is 180 degrees anywhere in the universe regardless of whether humans exist or not" people thought; "Euclid's geometry is deductively true so it has to be objectively true" people argued. But then non-euclidean geometry came along as a result of mathematicians playing with axioms of Euclidean geometry. These types of geometries were also deductively true except that they made different predictions about abstract shapes and figures than Euclidean geometry. For example, under certain conditions it is possible to have a triangle that is more than 180 degrees. Shortest distance between two points on a curved surface is not a straight line.

So depending on axioms (fundamental assumptions) you can have different mathematical pictures of reality, meaning that math is a product of human interpretation of the world and not objective description of the world.

LastEmp, you got your answer :youngsabo:

NO SYMPY
The Big Bad Booty Daddy doesn't have any sympy for people who didn't pay attention in math class! You see the cosine of any number is the same as its sine divided by its tangent, so you need to memorize the quadrammic equator, you fat ass! There's a 100% chance that if you grade on a curve, Scott Steiner is going to ruin everybody else's grades with his tremendo performis!

RVD would have the Star Frog Splash. Fatal Way Match, PTP would be worth nothing, Ted Dibiase would have The Belt.

And Chris Jericho would go by the same name, just to mock him.
ARMBAR!

Sickboy would've only had "the year itch" as his finisher move.

Arvy Dee would've done the "Star Frog Splash"

Let alone Matt Cross, Paul London and all those others doing the "splash" from the top rope ;)

Kidman. Not Sickboy. I want to think that Sickboy had some kind of pedigree-like finisher...

...and Brian Kendrick would have only had "Sliced Bread". :ohhh:

WrestleMania would have some lame taglines every year, so would SuperBrawl

World War 3 woulda been "World War featuring a heap of men in some rings"

Ric Flair would be seen on the same level as David Arquette without counting them championship reigns

The Austin 3:16 promo would have never happened
