Mathematical truth is the one we question the logical consistency but not the one we question whether it is applicable to physical reality. Someone before Perelman insisted to prove that the shape of the universe consists of eight different topological types including the shape of sphere and Perelman merely solved the shape of the universe is not other seven types if we can tag the rope.Poincare conjecture consists in two parts. One is condition clause..if we can tag the rope hung over the universe, then we can generally conclude that the shape of the universe is sphere. Reality has nothing to do with 'if'. Mathematical conjecture is interesting in that it merely leads to a lot of speculations.
