Ideas are things that exist, in a sense, as ideas. A wheel may or may not exist physically, but the principle that a vehicle with wheels is more easily driven along the path is true regardless.

Is there such a thing as an isosceles triangle? Have you ever seen one? Or even a point or a straight line? Does SU(2, C) exist? They don't "exist" physically, they are only mathematical objects.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.
