seeing more math on the TL recently. i haven't mathposted in a long time but i'm still happy to field math questions from twitter peeps, just reply here or tag me or w/e. big meaty philosophical questions like "wtf are real numbers anyway" would be particularly fun for me rn

Ohhh mathposting!! I'm always pleasantly surprised when you post math stuff. How do you see these if your notifs are follow-only? OK real math question: do you think everything has a physical meaning, or just accept abstract number trickery?

I forget all the ones that don't have a physical meaning. Eigenvalues are what comes to mind. "Stiffness" is a recent one.

eigenvalues have a physical meaning in quantum mechanics! they correspond to possible energy levels of quantum states
