       things I finally understand after looking them up a billion times: p-adic numbersthings I keep looking up: moduli spaces, lattices

       @ZevenKorian p-adic numbers were fairly easy for me to understand, considering 2's complement is just finite 2-adici guess tech brain comes in handy sometimes

       @chj0 I actually ermember how it only clicked for me when I was listening to a podcast about Edward Frenkel because one of the things he read about in hs was p-adicswhen he said "the idea is that bigger numbers are close together and small numbers are further part" it was likeDAMN IT
