Ask a physicist anything. (3)

I should point out that this is because imaginary and irrational numbers have geometric interpretations unlike the natural numbers which are more algebraic. Pi is the circumference of a circle of diameter one, etc. j is a rotation about an axis, etc.

Well, all numbers have instances in geometry; the number line is an extension of natural numbers, the radian is defined in terms of natural numbers, etc. i is defined in terms of exponents, natural numbers are defined in terms of cardinality of sets; geometry, to me, is just drawing numbers.

Numbers to me are just conceptualising geometry so I think we can agree to disagree.

Numbers are just a type of tensor.

I don't think we're disagreeing, we're looking at the same thing from different angles. It's like Boolean, Fuzzy, and Intuitionist logic: Boolean logic can construct fuzzy logic, and fuzzy logic can become boolean, as they're different languages for the same thing - we agree. Intuitionist logic, on the other hand, is simply objectively wrong

<Richie Benaud voice>Thanks for the replies everyone</Richie Benaud voice>, and cheers for the link, Maxwell.

Inch'allah I will think about j in my sleep tonight.

 

[Steffenfield]

What would be your best guess as to what this is?

 

[Delphiki]

Looks kind of like shark skin.

Do I get teh prize?

 

[Steffenfield]

Delphiki, wow, like, seriously, I wasn't expecting the right answer from anyone here to be honest.

But yeah!!! Awesome, awesome guess!

You certainly do get teh prize!!!

 

[nojnoj]

IIRC sharks' teeth are just modified scales. No wonder they're so surgically sharp.

 

[canehdianhotstuff]

Mmmm denticles.

 

[Steffenfield]

Okay. Sorry, sorry.

But one last time, I need to ask what this might be.

I honestly have no clue.

I don't want to sound like a complete moron. But to me that looks like cardiac muscle under some type of fluorescence.

At first I thought 'nebulae', then I realised that was stupid Now I like the idea of muscle fibres.

 

[nojnoj]

I'm worried about the number of orbs - all those lost souls searching for the light ... in muscle fibre.

 

[Nabobalis]

Why are gauge theories impossible?

 

[Assyrian]

Strands seem twisted. And some of the orbs are are outside the strands which fits lost souls but not nuclei. Some fibre under polarised light?

Team of researchers from USP, in a project supported by FAPESP, find out how the thyroid hormone causes growth of cardiac mass

so I'm assuming Heart Tissue.

 

[Steffenfield]

Thank you!!!

I'm actually surprised I didn't think of that at first.

Well, I respect all of you brainiacs in this thread.

TinEye sounds... amazing! So many images I want the source to, and now, finally, a way to do that! I bow to you, sir
