Salve, internet friends. Not to be confused with salve, but rather (sal-WAY). As in Latin for:
HEY HOMIES!
Actually, I'm pretty sure ancient Romans didn't refer to one another as homies...but they should have. Everyone should.

Historical context and confusion aside, let's step back into 2015. Which, as much as we may claim otherwise, could look a lot like ancient Rome if we tried hard enough.

Today, I want to talk about math for a little bit, mainly because it's gorgeous. I mean, I'm not kidding right now. When I see a white board filled top to bottom with calculus, I'm just happy. Now I know the thought of that may make some of you physically ill, or some of you may be slowly moving your cursor up to that red box in the corner in fear. But before you do, hear me out!

Math is, okay? No, not "Math is okay". Because it's more than okay. It IS. Math is there, in everything, and we are slowly, across the span of centuries and to this day, still decoding what is math. Like archaeologists digging up lost cities, mathematicians are brushing away the dust from numerical mysteries. It's like unwinding a tightly coiled string and seeing how far it stretches...(the answer is infinitely far).

Numbers and theories fit together, hand in hand, almost like a puzzle. Or rather, exactly like a puzzle. And the fact that no matter what is uncovered, it all still fits, is spectacular in its own way. It's like digging up rocks all over the globe, gathering them together, and finding out that they stack perfectly to form an exact replica of Michelangelo's David or something. It all just fits. That's what fascinates me about numbers and theories, and honestly, that's somewhere I can look and immediately see the awesome power and omnipotence of God.

He created everything with a plan in mind, and He created everything to fit together perfectly...everything. He set the universe in order, down the minute details of even integral calculus. When I see numbers and theories interact, it's beautiful. Because He thought Calculus into existence long before we sat out to discover it and uncover it's depth and detail.

It's amazing what you can find when you apply math. If you treat Physics like applied Math, then I suppose Math could be applied Philosophy. Sometimes it takes a crazy question and a crazy method to find a practical answer. Sometimes, even good questions have answers indescribable in good terms. And sometimes, you can find an answer that you weren't even looking for by first solving a simpler problem.

I don't know, maybe I'm rambling. And maybe I haven't made my point. But I have chem lab to get to, which is not quite as exciting as Calculus (in my opinion), so this is the end of today's post. But maybe, just maybe, you can sort of mildly partially (PARTIAL FRACTIONS...sorry) possibly see just a little bit why I enjoy math so much.

Anyway, shine on, Acrylic Camera Flashes, and have a fantastic day.
