That is so wrong.  That which underlies mathematics IS the intrinsics of
the universe.  Mathematics was created by man as a way to describe those
intrinsics.

When a lion takes down a gazelle, it may not think in terms of m, ms-1 and
ms-2 but it is still subject to the laws of nature which have very precise
mathematical definitions.

I think what you mean, is that the units of measurment we use are not
intrinsic to the universe, but as the only units of measurement that are,
are those on the subatomic scale, I hope you can find it in your heart to
forgive those of us who chose to work with meters and not PPDs (Peta
Proton Diameters).

Pinecones, daisies, and many other things in nature too.
