;D
The robots are becoming sentient
Someone call Will Smith
I think it wants to warn me of something...
The smiley maybe
Where was I? Right.
Maths deals in too many abstract concepts to be considered a model of only reality. Otherwise, what are imaginary numbers. Negative numbers, even! Those only exist in our mind as logically possible. Also maybe in some deep-ass particle physics.
Actually. Imaginary numbers do model reality. Especially in the use of fractal geometry.
Do tell.
I like when people explain things.
In a sane view, those things should not exist, but I know full well not to trust my common sense.
One sec
Here
See how they are used in real life applications
Oh, I see.
It's for when you're dealing with a number that you desperately want to continue calling negative, even if it's just as positive, only in the opposite direction.
Please don't burn me for heresy.
;D
You fucking anti-free speech bots.
Sorta
But as you can see
Math is still a model of reality even at it's weirdest
But I bet imaginary numbers as a concept were created way before they could be applied anywhere.
As it has tremendous predictive power
Please tell me when it manages to predict a complex system.
That would be very useful.
What do you mean by complex system?
Reality by definition is a complex system
And math models it well
Why do you even ask when you know what I mean?
Math models simple interactions well. There are too many interactions in a complex system to account for them all.
I seem to remember something about a completely sealed space with as few as three objects interacting with each other being basically unpredictable. Granted, that might have been a load of bullshit.
Three body problem
Not a load of crap
But it seems what math can predict is often misunderstood.
I'm sorry.
For what?
If I misunderstood something.
I really try, but I'm a doctor, not a mathematician ;D
What kind of doctor?
One that just graduated literally yesterday, so not much ;D
Congrats
Thank you.
I do plan on pediatrics though.

Btw. You play 40k?
