Yeah, sorry if my tone seemed patronizing.
And I can relate with you. Orbital predictions? “This body will collide with that other body 7 years from now”? Whoa. Magic indeed!!
Comment on tuff enuff
TachyonTele@piefed.social 2 days agoYeah i understand the theories and “why” (kind of) it’s mainly the numbers that get me lol and also how do you know what formula to use
I think it’s very cool. I listen to podcasts about mathamatics all the time, special and general relativity, time, lightwaves, etc all that stuff is fascinating

Oh no i never thought that, your comments perfectly fine, imo.
Right? You can figure out where any object will be in the future, it seems. That’s insane, and very cool. I wonder what people like Euclid would think about math and geometry in our time.

Knowing how the formulas work is physics. Math is just the language used by the models.
