re: #94 LudwigVanQuixote

It is one thing to admire things like this. It is another to understand what these things mean on the complex plane and how they explain things in the world.

I would imagine that if a big league mathematician saw something in you then you are very gifted indeed.

Weird coincidence, because you reminded me with your comment of one of the things that I think impressed him; during the conversation I began discussing a different plane I envisioned with irrational numbers on one axis and a numerical system which I had devised myself (and which I’d rather not describe here) as the other axis. It was at this point that his eyes really started to pop out of his head and he began to get really excited. I could see ideas soaring in his head, taking off in all sorts of more rigorous directions from my rather amateurish rendition of my idea. But it was in some ways not dissimilar to the complex plane, but frankly even more “out there.”
