How did we come up with the order of operation?
How did we originally say that everything in the parenthesis has to be done first. And what evidence do we rely on to say that multiplication/division have to be done before adding/subtraction?
Everything in the world/universe we know of today relies on those basic calculation skills, known as the order of operation. We calculate how far the stars, galaxies, etc. using those basic knowledge.
What if, just what if, there is another civilization out there somewhere who has a different type of order of operation. Instead of doing multiplication/divisions first, they do adding/subtraction first. Wouldn't then all their calculations on the universe and their world be much different from our view of the universe/world?
Since our view and their views are so different, wouldn't it be catastrophic?
