Pythagoras’ famous theory - which has long been proven and should be made into mathematical law - will never be, because the therm ‘Pythagorean Theorem’ sounds so pleasing.

    Math laws are basically axioms, which means Assumptions we hold to be true… meaning they are unprovable, if you could prove them from other axioms, then they would be theories and you wouldn’t have to make a new assumption.

    Everything else is built up on the assumptions and are called theories, assuming the axioms are correct.
