Subjective things depend on your own ideas and opinions: there isn't any universal truth. Subjective is the opposite of objective, which refers to things that are more clear-cut. That Earth has one moon is objective: it's a fact. Facts are objective, but opinions are subjective.

@TakingBackMidgard But maths depeonds our subjectivity. Unless you want to say that numbers exist in the universe. If this is so, they exist in a metaphysical way.

If they don't exist in the universe, then they exist in our mind. Yet, we hold math to be true. So, we have a subjective truth.

@Gouzi IV there is other intelligent life out there I’m sure they will know that there is a system of amounting.

A is less then B, C is more than A and B.

In a natural universal way where atoms make up everything. A different amount of proton and neutrons will make up a different element subsequently making a vast array of what we call the universe.
