This in no way changes the revolution or rotation of our planet Earth. They will have the same ultimate 'math' determine the end result. It takes 365.25 rotations to complete one revolution. The 'math' of our orbit is universal regardless of the language used or not used.
There are planets that we have not yet observed. These planets have mathematical orbits without language or observation. All we can do is observe, report and predict, but we cannot change the 'math'.
Math exists without us and in spite of us.
No one is arguing that what we call"math" or according to the original word, knowledge, is part of the objective world. Our ability to receive it without confusion is in great question. How do aliens help us understand this? They may be more advanced, but still have no perfect machine that will help us measure our rotation without error. The tiny bit of uncertainty will remain, even if you could close the gap of imperfect measuring, by half, every year, for a million years, there will still be a gap that never will close.
Uncertainty rules the observed world/universe.
But the math we study in our minds has no gaps.
How do you explain this?
When we remember we are all mad, the mysteries disappear and life stands explained.
