There is no one thing called "truth". There are different systems of verification, which produce truths, but "1 + 1" is not comparable to "water boils at 100 degrees C". Mathematics fundamentally does not describe the real world. It models the real world--and many other worlds besides. Mathematical truths describe axiomatic systems. The properties of the real world are determined not by mathematics, but by measurement.

This is usually called "physics".
