Question

25 points!! Can postulates always be proven true?

Answer 1

Answer:

The basic answer to your question is that we have to start somewhere.

The essence of mathematics (in the sense the Greeks introduced to the  

world) is to take a small set of fundamental "facts," called  

postulates or axioms, and build up from them a full understanding of  

the objects you are dealing with (whether numbers, shapes, or  

something else entirely) using only logical reasoning such that if  

anyone accepts the postulates, then they must agree with you on the  

rest.

It can sometimes be proven.
