““The philosopher Karl Popper believed [POP] that nothing can ever be known with absolute certainty. He instead had a concept of “truth up to falsifiability.” Mathematics, in its traditional modality, rejects this point of view. Mathematical assertions that are proved according to the accepted canons of mathematical deduction are believed to be irrefutably true. And they will continue to be true. This permanent nature of mathematics makes it unique among human intellectual pursuits.””
