has every popcorn that's been popped and will be popped forever into the future a mathematically unique structure? Or, is there a statistical probably that 2 will be the same, given enough time and poppings?

I guess you mean the form described by the surface. The only popcorn-relate paper I've ever seen was one that derived a differential equation to calculate the rate of pops.

If your math doesnt have a real world application, it's schizo bullshit. Might as well recite poetry.

That is always the case.

Nothing starts with real world applications, until one day it does.
But is the reverse true?
Will everything that can be imagined, one day have a real world application?

How do I prove this mathematically?

The opposite is true. Real world applications come first and the mathematics we form are post-hoc explanations of real world observations.

Only a fool would believe that, and you are not a fool. Math exists for the purpose of categorization. It is and always was just a categorization tool/cognitive strategy. And categorization requires the categorization of something. Without any perceptive organs, you would have no reference to anything which could possibly be categorized.

NTA but by this I assume you mean a relation to the real world, which is untrue. Maths can be tied to actual problems or they can be exercises in pure logic.

not Op, but geometrically, no topologically. Topology doesnt have stretching or bending as meaningful restrictions, so every piece of popcorn should be homeomorphic to each other piece, and homeomorphic to a sphere, unless you encounter a torus shaped piece of popcorn which ive never seen

You would need to employ some combinatorics and some geometry to solve this problem. Here's a similar problem thats simpler than the problem you're asking because the geometry is not as complicated.

it's a dynamic system which means that there is no way to predict what the popcorn will look like before they pop

look into the Lorentz attractor, there are new attractors found every day that applied math major use to try and simulate exactly this type of dynamical problem

It all depends on the precission of your measurements. In the absolute sense, even the form of popcorn that hasn't been popped is unique.
