Finding Heaven in Numbers

In Pursuit of the Transcendental Reality of Mathematics

Seeing mathematics like this is a spiritual experience, but not in a theological or religious way in the sense of blind belief based on the teachings of others, but in the sense that if God is truly pure and perfect, mathematics is the manifestation of such purity and perfection in the physical Universe.

In fact, I think heaven is a real physical thing. It is being freed from our physical terrestrial bodies, and the Universe allowing us to see, experience, and take in its full mathematical construction, beauty, and nature all at once.
