Is math wrong?

The title says it all. Is the math we have now wrong? I bet most of you will say no, and for good reasons: Convincing evidence, rate of usage, influence throughout history, ect.

But back at the history part, think about how much the math we use now has changed over the years. Centuries, and even millennia of reevaluating, refining, and slowly creeping to where it is now. So my question is:

Where will our math be in the future? Will it still be the same as it is right now? Will it have changed much, if not just a little? Perhaps drastically?

And to clear up a potential argument right now; this question does not apply to basic or theoretical math. Obviously addition for example means to add, and ideas of math that do not influence reality cannot technically be false. So, get those out of here.

With that out of the way, it's time to ask.

What we think we know... is it wrong or right?

Is there something in the world, or perhaps universe that we have not accounted for?

Where is it going in the future?

I'd like to hear your thoughts on this, and try not to be influenced by anyone that may have come before you.

 

Math is not wrong. 2 + 2 equals 4. Not 8000. Always.

 

That said, math is a means to an end. A tool.

Math is not wrong per say, but even math that is correct won't help you if you do not know what you should be looking for to acomplish what you are trying to do.

If you know what to look for and are'nt looking at something that won't help nor encourage your goal, then yeah, math can only help you.

This is indeed the main issue with science theories. If they are wrong, all the correct math in the world won't do any good. They will remain fiction.

Only witj proven science can math be used to an advantage.

If math is wrong, I don't want to be right.

Weird that some of you call math a science. It is a logical, theoretical construct; a tool. That tool is incredibly useful in science, but it isn't science. No one does math experiments. Something proven correctly will never be overthrown; it cannot without upsetting the whole apple cart. Science doesn't deal in proof, only weight of evidence and likelihoods.

Given that the tool is logically consistent, it can't really be said to be "wrong". It certainly can be misapplied when used to measure or describe other phenomena, though.

I mean you need to test equations to prove the math is "real" for example you need to test that 1+1=2. You may at first thing 2+2=2 but you would be wrong. The same thing applies to science their is a correct answer but it may never be known. Math has a correct answer but I think that sometimes their are simpler ways of doing things. If you take this to mean that something war wrong then sure "modern math can and is wrong" however if you take this to mean we are right but not fully efficient (the position I take) then well we are right! But only sort of.

The questions is... What makes something that is right, right?
