      I think the most interesting thing I have learnt is maths is not complete. Every day researchers (like myself) add to the knowledge of maths in the world.

      This is super advanced, but: The Dirac Belt Trick (also known as the plate trick, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plate_trick). It’s a demonstration that, for some systems, rotating 360 degrees doesn’t bring you back to the start, *but rotating 360 x 2 = 720 degrees does*. There is a mathematical explanation for why this works (in 3D space) but it’s very complicated.
