Wouldn't the reality that we humans attempt to explain with math and science still exist?

This question has been around a long time and the final answer is not in. Math and science majors should be encouraged to read some philosophy so they might have an idea what it is they are trying to do.

Good idea.

Wasn't it Plato who believed that what we create here on earth as humans has a "perfect" counterpart in heaven? Analogous to the existence of prime numbers even if humans don't exist. Or... yes, a tree makes a sound even if no one is there to here it.
