What does topology have to offer us as individuals?
Part II of II
What if topology finds universal truths exist unaffected and undistorted by the forces of our universe?
Then topology would have discovered the existence of truths in the area that lies beyond our universe.
Topology would then become the first field of science or mathematics to do so.
But this wouldn’t make topology the first field of study to do so.
Religions have been discussing universal truths for thousands of years.
Mathematics, on the other hand, may well become the first field of study dealing with direct observation of the universe around us which is capable of proving truths which describe eternity.
Such an accomplishment would be the first step science or mathematics would have taken to reinforce the field of religion.
Hope of an eternal existence could become re-ignited by one of the least expected fields of study – theoretical mathematics.

‘Could become’ should actually read ‘has become.’
Topology does not need to actually find universal truths.
Just the fact that this field has evolved within the analytical areas of math and science should be enough of a statement to make us realize that even mathematics and science are now beginning to give some validity to the idea of eternity.
