The mathematics we have inherited from the Ancient Greeks is bare of “duration” that is, timeless. If asked about the maths counting event “1 + 1=2” all would say that “duration” isn't involved, end of story, only physical events have “duration”. This obviously is the most profound difference between mathematics and physics. Maths events are bare of “duration” while physical events have “duration”. What if a wonderful trick could be found to give maths events duration? And what if we could match these durations to physical events, then that would be a great truth!
