Who needs certainty? (There could be NP bias here ;) :hug: )



Why does reading about cognitive dissonance and paradox make me happy? I mean, really I get quite excited by the thought of math not being completely understood.



Totally with Gromit. Agree perfectly. I guess I would be really bored if we ever actually understood everything about a topic. I would far rather find out a current model is flawed and there is still more stuff left to discover. Yeah!!! I get to play more!!! Victor this whole thread has actually brightened my day!

People who not only apply it but rely on it need certainty, lol. For me close is good enough, thats what putty is made for to fill in the blanks;) One day we will find the equation for "constants".
