2/6
And there's nothing that can be different about that. Anytime, anywhere, if I have 1 thing, and get another thing, I now have 2 things. i.e. regardless of how we write it, 1+1=2 everywhere in the universe.
But what about if Physics was different. What if instead of E=mc² they had E=mc³. Well, the formula itself is different, but that's the formula - the Maths, the underlying rules (like 1+1=2) don't change, it's just a different formula for energy, than what we have...

3/6 i.e. they might have different Physics, but Maths is the same. And they might have different Chemistry, but Maths would be the same. What if they counted in fours instead of tens (cos they had 4 fingers)? Base Four is something we can already do with Maths now. We already use Base Two (binary) and Base Sixteen (hexadecimal) in computing, so that doesn't change anything either, just a different base...
