some primitive tribes can only count to three is proof that the rest of the numbers do not exist That IS proof that, for them, those numbers don't exist. Does a Reimann space exist for those who don't know about relativistic mechanics? No, only as an esoteric abstraction. If you were dropped in a rainforest naked would relativistic mechanics help you? No. Could I prove that it existed. No. It reminds me of the Kuru infection that is like Mad Cow Disease affecting aboriginals that practice ritual brain-eatting of their deceased. This doctor goes back to them telling them that it is caused by an agent that he hasn't seen and no one has seen directly (we know them now as prions). They laughed and said "that's what magic is". But then I'm a relativist.
