[ExI] favor for a friend

[Giovanni Santostasi]

The discussion is really going in a different direction from the original
topic. Seriously what you guys think is the reason math works so well in
the natural world, even if it is a pretty crazy abstraction (real number
having infinite decimal places, imaginary numbers being a solution in
physics equations representing anti-matter like in the Dirac equation and
so on)?

PS
Now that Spike told me not to do it I'm going to do the Pi experiment for
sure, in fact, I will even try the Euler number. YOLO
