Is is ideal for complex maths/physics? Or does it just suit our monkey analogue brains?
Could it be stagnating our progress? When can we know if it is?
Also, curiously, does it have anything to do with us having 10 fingers?
Are there aliens out there with 8 fingers total who use a maths system based on 8? And have already developed warp drive via better maths/physics theory?
Ours, has gotten us pretty far so far, maybe all civilizations adopt the same system we use when they evolve a high enough mental capacity?
I'm leaning towards, one set of actual universal rules and laws of physics, but only one way to discover them. Our way. The decimal way. What say?
Nonsense. Base 8 has been in use since forever in computers, base 16 is de riguer, base 2 is fundamental to computers, the babylonians and the mayans used base 60, the aztecs used base 20. The number system is irrelevant.
