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.

Which proves even more so that math is a *reliable* model of reality

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?

Your avatar looks eldar

It is. I'm a big fan, but never had the money or the community to play tabletop.

Where do you live?

US?

Fucking Lithuania. We say it's in the geographical middle of Europe, but nobody seems to care.

Don't like it there?

No no no, not that.
I meant my country isn't very relevant in the international community of countries.
Here, I'm just a lurking newfag.

I don't think relevancy should be desired for a country right now

Work on your country and improve as much as possible while keeping your heads down

True. It's kind of nice, no refugees want to stay here because no money and too cold.
Those that stay usually turn out to be the ones that care.
Russians still have Latvia and Belarus to annex before getting to us, so that's like 20 years of peace probably.
What a time to be alive <:covfefe:440543908846632980>

Sounds like a time to become economically powerful

And hit the scene like a boss
