The evolution of mathematics from agriculture to quantum mechanics
The evolution of mathematics from agriculture to quantum mechanics
Mathematics has snowballed from counting to 10 on our fingers, to calculus, to abstract concepts like imaginary numbers that move in 11 dimensions and predict particles physics.
The math that led us down the rabbit hole of quantum mechanics is bizarre and while we can crunch the numbers, we can’t really understand what they mean.
If the math confirms that particles can move in 11 dimensions, is that a fundamental truth of the universe?
