Broham, you are in a science thread and math is the Queen of the sciences and physics is the king. You are in the wrong thread.
Math is like an n atomic-powered prosthesis that you attach to your common sense, vastly multiplying its reach and strength. With the tools of mathematics in hand, you can understand the world in a deeper, more meaningful way. Math is like a pair of X-ray specs that reveal hidden structures underneath the messy and chaotic surface of the world.
Your thought experiment is a useless critique of the grammatical rules of math that are in reality more flexible in practice/use. Why do I say the grammatical rules ? Because math is the language of size, order and shape and everyday human language is vastly more primitive and conservative compared to the international language of math.

I fixed my post to say ' math is like an atomic powered prosthesis...' I tried to fix it before you quoted me but this site is acting flaky. You can't put the universe in a tube. The only thing that scientists can do that slightly resembles that is to try to recreate the biochemical conditions or state of affairs that likely existed in the primordial soup and show how life came about or smash particles in the large hadron collider at CERN.
