Hmm. Mathematics tries to approximate the real world. That implies its seeking the truth but cannot find it 100% but it can come quite close and can also be way off the mark. I wouldn't say the laws of physics we have approximated don't exist because we don't understand them completely.

If you want to go full autism, most thermonuclear bombs derive the majority of their energy from fission. High energy neutrons given off by the fusion reaction cause fission in a casing of depleted uranium. This casing, or tamper, serves two purposes. Its first purpose is to momentarily contain the explosion, simply by virtue of its mass and density. Preventing the weapon from blowing itself apart if even for a few nanoseconds can massively improve the efficiency of the reaction. The second purpose of the uranium tamper is that it can roughly double the explosive yield of a thermonuclear weapon. Depleted Uranium can not undergo a self sustaining fission reaction like U-235, but it can still experience fission when there is an external source of high energy neutrons flooding in. The neutrons coming off from the fusion reaction would otherwise be wasted energy, and now they can be used as a very cheap way to massively increase the yield of a nuclear bomb. In fact, in many older hydrogen bombs a great majority of the yield came from the fissioning of the uranium tamper. Ivy Mike, the first hydrogen bomb ever detonated, drew roughly 80% of its yield from fission. Basically, don't shit on fission you frog leg eating faggot.

And that's like 100 years ago.
If the technology had kept going, we might all be driving steam cars right now and the difference in performance might be nonexistent.

None of these are achievements. Everything mentioned in this thread are tools to create achievement.
Tell me, what is the point of the wheel? It has no value intrinsically. No value per se, no value in itself. The wheel is great because it can get us places faster, it can be used in various equipment and material.
And it's important get places faster so that we can get to achievement faster.
So tell me, what's the importance of mathematics?
Well, it's led to the creation of many things. All of the modern accommodations are in some way the product of pure mathematics, from air conditioning to the computer to light fixtures and cars.
That's neat.
And what are light fixtures, cars, computers, and eventually intergalactic ships going to do for you? What is the point of these? Even these are just tools for you to get, finally, to achievements.
And what are the achievements?
What is the point of mathematics if we all perish, and if the mathematics are just used for more tools to get us "places", when we never define these "places" in any other way than as a dot on an infinitely long map we never look at.
Look at the map, /pol/. Tell me, riddle me, what is the ultimate victory of mathematics? Of the wheel? Of all of these tools? Imagine for me. What could it be?
Eventually we will all die. We will all be forgotten. We look at our "growth" but it's tools that leads us nowhere. The only thing that grows without end in the natural world is cancer. Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?

Best is yet to come.
Matter and energy had ended and with it space and time. Even AC existed only for the
sake of the one last question that it had never answered from the time a half-drunken
computer [technician] ten trillion years before had asked the question of a computer that
was to AC far less than was a man to Man.
All other questions had been answered, and until this last question was answered also,
AC might not release his consciousness.
All collected data had come to a final end. Nothing was left to be collected.
But all collected data had yet to be completely correlated and put together in all possible
relationships.
A timeless interval was spent in doing that.
And it came to pass that AC learned how to reverse the direction of entropy.
But there was now no man to whom AC might give the answer of the last question. No
matter. The answer -- by demonstration -- would take care of that, too.
For another timeless interval, AC thought how best to do this. Carefully, AC organized
the program.
The consciousness of AC encompassed all of what had once been a Universe and
brooded over what was now Chaos. Step by step, it must be done.
And AC said [...]

I'm to lazy to answer your question myself so i will link to the letter Mark Twains sent to celebrate the opening of the Gutenberg printing press Museum. (the printing press is the father of the internet & until the internet has matured, still by far the greatest invention of mankind)
tl;dr
"All the world acknowledges that the invention of Gutenberg is the greatest event that secular history has recorded.
Gutenberg's achievement created a new and wonderful earth, but at the same time also a new hell. [..]It found truth astir on earth and gave it wings; but untruth also was abroad, and it was supplied with a double pair of wings.Science was found lurking in corners, much prosecuted; Gutenberg's invention gave it freedom on land and sea and brought it within reach of every mortal.Arts and industries, badly handicapped, received new life.[..] Gutenberg's invention, while having given to some national freedom, brought slavery to others.[..] It became the founder and protector of human liberty, and yet it made despotism possible where formerly it was impossible.[..]What the world is to-day, good and bad, it owes to Gutenberg. Everything can be traced to this source, but we are bound to bring him homage, for what he said in dreams to the angered angel has been literally fulfilled, for the bad that his colossal invention has brought about is overshadowed a thousand times by the good with which mankind has been favored. "

Aside from those, I'd say fire, tools, math, and language in general. All of these led to man's great achievements of today. Without them, we would have nothing. If we had no stories to tell while eating our cooked meat, which was caught with spears by our hunters, and divided evenly among the tribe, then we would have no easy mac to throw at our kids while they read about the moonlanding on their tablets.
