Or maybe it doesn't. Your saying so doesn't really prove much, does it?
I can't believe I am having this "conversation". Pythagoras' theorem states that the square of the hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. You can't have a triangle existing in one dimensional space. In the same way, you can't have laws of arithmetic in the absence of numbers. The laws of physics are derived from our observation of the behaviour of physical objects. Some of them may even be wrong and based on our own misunderstanding.
