It’s okay not to understand everything about Math. I used to be a big enthusiast, even went to engineering school and loved the Math parts of it. But there are many, many, many topics I don’t have the time or energy to grasp them, and I’m okay with that.
But yeah, nothing too magic about it. If you have one apple and you know that someone will give you another apple in 30 minutes, how many apples will you have in 45 minutes? That’s right. 2 apples. Of course, predicting orbital trajectories is much more than that. But that’s pretty much about it (lol!)
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
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.

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!!
