It's the numbers that get me.
Abstract concepts now, I can deal with those. I have some small interest in the eleven dimensions involved in the current string theories, and can even have some small grasp in the idea of a twelfth super dimension that holds the other eleven together. I can understand how a fourth dimensional object can be immersed in to a third dimensional space. I can understand how a butterfly in China can cause a hurricane in Florida, and I really love learning about all this stuff. But once you introduce the numbers involved, my brain evaporates in to a puff of smoke. I love fractals and all that goes with them. But the numbers mystify me.
I am at a complete loss at how my brain can deal with complex abstract subjects like those mentioned but can not deal with numbers.
When I see numbers, it's like I go dyslexic. They all just jumble up and do something funny.
All alone, or in twos,
The ones who really love you
Walk up and down outside the wall.
Some hand in hand
And some gathered together in bands.
The bleeding hearts and artists
Make their stand.
And when they've given you their all
Some stagger and fall, after all it's not easy
Banging your heart against some mad buggers wall.
"Isn't this where...."
