Quote by Janna Levin

I don't believe that math and nature respond to democracy. Just because very clever people have rejected the role of the infinite, their collective opinions, however weighty, won't persuade mother nature to alter her ways. Nature is never wrong.

$I don't believe that math and nature respond to democracy. J$

Summary

This quote suggests a disbelief in the influence of democracy or collective opinions on math and nature. It argues that even if highly intelligent individuals reject certain mathematical concepts like the infinite, their opinions cannot compel nature to change its laws. It emphasizes the view that nature is infallible and that human perception or understanding cannot alter its fundamental truths. Thus, it implies the importance of recognizing and respecting the inherent consistency and accuracy of natural laws.
