Is that what imaginary numbers are for? I don't remember my GEB:EGB that good... :-)
Haven't seen "down the rabbit hole" or whatnot, but I will sometime probably. I especially liked that series on thread theory or whatnot on pbs. Swell stuff, just swell. I can get all excited about how we don't know crap, you know? Woot! Pretty nice, really. I'll have to give the "think at the ice crystals" bit a try, but that thing with plants seems real... how you treat them... "i owe my soul to the company store"... String theory? I'm a frayed knot. Whoops, had the switch set to "random" there folks. Apologies! (I seriously love this stuff tho, to the OP, check out "freezing light", that's cool too) On 6/11/07, Dana wrote: > > Which part of circuit theory is it that you need imaginary numbers for? > It's been a while... > > Dana > > > Denny wrote: > >> The, lets see, transistor?
