You are right, extremely hard. (Tried.)
The Idea of one is explainable(??) in mathematics, but when you try to incorporate that idea to your everyday life, well.
It looks easy, "Look,here you have one cigarette,one, out of 20"
"Yes i have, but how come this one, contains then a filter,paper and tobacco"
Examples like this are plenty.
So, why then, the world obeys mathematics ?
Because of theoretical mathematics/physics, which is then employed and used by engineers we are, were we are. We have, as an example, a computer.
So is this scietific rigour (whatever it is) based on something, what we really dont understand ?
