In modern high-level physics (like General Relativity or Quantum Mechanics), we’ve actually circled back to more complex structures like Tensors and Spinors that look a lot more like those "monstrous" quaternions than Hamilton ever could have dreamed.
The (measuring the area between them and their perpendicular direction). 3. The "Vector Wars" Classical Vector Algebra (Textbooks in Mathemat...
In 1843, the Irish mathematician was walking across a bridge in Dublin when he had a "eureka" moment. He carved the formula for Quaternions into the stone. Quaternions were four-dimensional numbers ( In modern high-level physics (like General Relativity or
