Except when it comes to Math. Math is absolute, as long as you ignore statistics.

Gotta ignore infinities too. The axioms they're based on are highly controversial.

And ~~irrational~~ imaginary numbers. I mean the numbers make sense, but it’s not like we can intuitively understand sqrt(-1).

You're thinking of imaginary numbers. Irrational numbers are real numbers that have an infinite number of decimal places and don't repeat.
