I wonder why exponentials are so common in nature/physics but tetration is not

- alisonkisk 4y agoThe numbers get impossibly big almost immediately.
- isaac21259 4y agoExponentials come up quite naturally from differential equations because it's often suprisingly useful to talk about something's rate of change in terms of itself. As far as I know there's no similar connection with tetration.
- ufo 4y agoIn other words: if it grows or decays by a rate that's proportional to the current amount, over time it'll follow an exponential curve.
