        @atelierelealbe @neiltyson That's a construct though, not universally applicable. Up is a referential human construct.

        @neiltyson well so is math. Math exists in rules based on arbitrary but precise definitions. We use those definitions to do a LOT of work.

        @hafellfox @neiltyson Math invented the most complex parts of itself. Just a building of rules and playing within their constraints.

        @Just_Benj @neiltyson well, leave it to a life form to find and note patterns. But that's philosophy, not science, I suppose.
