This reminds me of a great conversation I had on a whiteboard during my masters in the dynamical systems group:
"So energy is pumped into the system on the left, and is dissipated over here on the right"
"But the system is rotationally invariant, there is no left and right"
"I meant in frequency space"
"Oh I thought you were talking in real space"
"ARE YOU STUPID, WHO THE HELL THINKS IN REAL SPACE??!?"

- datascienced 3y agoThis is XKCD worthy! Send it to Randall
- jdthedisciple 3y agoWait a second- is there even such a thing as left and right in frequency space? It's an abstract representation, I'd it doesn't have any relationship to spatial dimensions in terms of left right up down
