According to the multiverse theory is it possible that 2+2 doesn't equals 4 in another universe?

In this universe it's 4 but in another Universe could it be something else, or the same thing in all universes?
Any time now it may not be 4 here either. There seems to be a huge movement in about half of society to think lies are truth and truth is fake. Who knows? By next month to those folks 2 +2 might be 12.

That is actually a hard question. I can see different multiverses having different laws of physics but is math always the same? No idea.

Math is a constant. You're not going to get around or outside of math. It's a form of pure reason.

In this universe, 2+2 ≠ 4 if you're counting in base 4.
DunningKruger · 61-69, M
@DunningKruger Of course, although in base 4, 2 + 2 would equal 10, the value of the symbol "10" is equal to the value of the symbol "4" in base 10, so perhaps 2+2 will always equal the value of 4 whatever it's called or written as.

I can't think of a way in which 2+2 could genuinely not equal 4, but I'm not a mathematician, or even particularly good at math, so I don't know what I'm talking about.

I would think math is math in any universe but what do i know
there is new info

Of course. In fact the idea of "two" may not exist..😷

Check base 3 and base 4.
No.
But I'm loving it.
Keep finding settled "questions" of the past to mess you up.
That's the best a philosophy student in a killing empire should want! Trivia to the last word on earth!

Mathematics is a way to describe how numbers interact in the universe. If the concept of simple addition does not work in the same way as it does in our universe then the physics will be so alien as to make numbers such as 2 and 4 meaningless. We'd need a whole new math system.
I think that's an interesting question.

@blokeinpub Science and the philosophy of spirituality are now connected today.

The Universe is not 100% material, it's mostly empty space, dark energy and dark matter and other unknown forces.
