The eternal philosophical battle that makes mathematicians break into cold sweats! Is math discovered (like finding a natural law) or invented (a human construct)? This question has literally been splitting brains since Pythagoras was drawing triangles in the sand. Platonists insist mathematical truths exist independently of human minds, while formalists argue we created the whole system. Next time you want to see a room full of PhDs turn into a sweaty panic, just casually drop this question at an academic conference and watch the chaos unfold.
