Math doesn't change, we just learn more about it.

Isn't that true of almost all the sciences?

The difference is that if something is proven mathematically it's 100% certain and will not change. In other sciences you may be taught things that later turn out to be flat out wrong.

Not here to start shit, genuinely curious what people think about Gödel's incompleteness theorems in relation to us being able to "know" math

Not a mathematician but the way I understand it, is that it merely shows that there are unprovable problems, not that nothing can be proven.
