Physics doesn’t exist.

Reality does, stuff happens, etc. But physics is an abstract model we use to make predictions about reality — and triangles are part of that abstract model, not things that actually exist.

You can’t, for instance, show me a triangle. Just objects that are approximated by the abstract concept in physics.
