I like to learn hard stuff for fun and to know more, pretty much like learning.

2020-01-15 16:37:35 UTC  

same here

2020-01-15 16:37:45 UTC  

Also, what’s j and k, are those like a unit of coordinates?

2020-01-15 16:37:55 UTC  

i hated math in grade school but once i hit grade 11 it was amazing

2020-01-15 16:38:16 UTC  

theyre planes in a sence

2020-01-15 16:38:35 UTC  

think on how you have the real number line such as "1, 2, 3

2020-01-15 16:38:42 UTC  

Mhm

2020-01-15 16:39:01 UTC  

the you have the complex plain which is perpendicular to the reals

2020-01-15 16:39:10 UTC  

these are all multiplied by i

2020-01-15 16:39:39 UTC  

they are a real number multiplied by the imaginary "i" so "i 2i, 3i, " so on

2020-01-15 16:39:53 UTC  

these are 2D numbers

2020-01-15 16:39:56 UTC  

Ohhh

2020-01-15 16:40:14 UTC  

Looking at it graphically as you’re saying that, makes more sense now

2020-01-15 16:40:36 UTC  

then when you get to j its another plane 3D numbers or x + yi +zj

2020-01-15 16:40:46 UTC  

precisely that yes

2020-01-15 16:40:57 UTC  

And then the reals are also multiplied by k?

2020-01-15 16:41:15 UTC  

this is where is gets philosophical

2020-01-15 16:41:21 UTC  

Ah

2020-01-15 16:41:39 UTC  

Philosophical in what sense?

2020-01-15 16:42:15 UTC  

so i just said that i s perpendicular to the reals right

2020-01-15 16:42:23 UTC  

Mhm

2020-01-15 16:43:00 UTC  

and j is perpendicular to that like a 3D plane

2020-01-15 16:43:24 UTC  

so k is perpendicular to those aswell

2020-01-15 16:43:34 UTC  

And thus becomes 4D?

2020-01-15 16:43:44 UTC  

i, j, and k are all perpendicular to the real number line

2020-01-15 16:44:13 UTC  

but yet i,j,k are perpendicular to eachother

2020-01-15 16:44:22 UTC  

and the reals are the origin point

2020-01-15 16:44:25 UTC  

yes

2020-01-15 16:44:57 UTC  

if you watch through that video it will do a better job explaining it than i could

2020-01-15 16:45:03 UTC  

1. because you can see it

2020-01-15 16:45:13 UTC  

and 2. im no mathematician

2020-01-15 16:45:40 UTC  

Fair enough lol, but taking it from a basic level like a 10 year old learning something is useful.

2020-01-15 16:46:22 UTC  

yeah i think they interesting, ive though of going into math in college but i dont know if i could handle it

2020-01-15 16:47:46 UTC  

i hope i didnt hurt your head too much lmao

2020-01-15 16:48:08 UTC  

Nah, I’ve already bent my mind loads when it came to learning string theory out of curiosity.

2020-01-15 16:48:17 UTC  

Bloody hell, that was unbearable

2020-01-15 16:49:02 UTC  

So learning this, probably won’t hurt, if anything it might help

2020-01-15 16:49:04 UTC  

string theory is hard yes

2020-01-15 16:49:22 UTC  

quantum mechanics are kinda fun tho

2020-01-15 16:49:30 UTC  

Oh it certainly is
