Well, THAT was certainly an approximation to the truth. I believe that the actual quote is more like "mathematics ... is a relatively good approximation to truth—which is much too complicated to allow anything but approximations."

Truth is the unlimited, ungraspable, certain, infinite potential of Consciousness. The illusion of finite is made of the ignorance of this ∞ Truth. Thus limited probability describing the bounded finite, is necessarily incomplete (Gödel), and uncertain.

Approximations are usually good enough to be serviceable though. Quite the thinker - fundamental computing architecture and game theory.

May be that’s why it’s to hard to prove that absolute zero exist and that we can only approach it from the positive or negative sides.

This statement is far from the truth. Allow yourself that truth reveals you the truth.
