Yeah 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

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

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!!

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.
