Any math whizes out their want to explain this to my retarded

It's literally just a 11-dimensional sphere casting a "shadow" into our 3-dimensional reality

It's like when you try to turn a sphere inside out and end up with a flat plane, but in reverse.

It's magic. I ain't got to explain shit.

The math mumbo jumbo is the Dirac equation.

So yeah, it's quantum mechanics; I ain't gotta explain shit.

It's a cartoon.

Dirac was an english physicist and in the late1920s he discovered the equation that bears his name. In its original form Dirac's equation is a relativistic variant of Schrodinger's equation. Schrodinger's equation is valid only for non relativistic quantum mechanics and it couldn't account for a number of physical effects. Dirac's equation could and one of the consequences of this equation was the discovery of antiparticles (first in theory then some years later in experiment).

But why? And how?

Isn't it just random numbers tossed together? How can it account for actual physical matter?

Excuse me what how does that work

The numbers aren't random. Those symbols each represent a different physical property. You know, like algebra. The equation describes the relationship between those properties. Specifically: momentum, wave function, charge, the speed of light and Planck's Constant (energy divided by frequency). If you know some of the properties of a particle, you can know what the others must be, by using the equation. Why is that equation right? Well, no one can really answer questions like that. It's not really within physics' bailey to find out why the laws of physics are the way they are, it's just interested in figuring out what they are.

Okay but how are we getting said properties

I think what always confuses me about complex equations is where the starting point is.

In other news: STEM dropouts surprisingly make more interesting anime than full time animators that actually did art school.

People made observations about the physical universe. Get enough of those observations, and you start noticing patterns. Once you notice patterns, you can conduct experiments to see if the patterns were just coincidence or if there was a direct link. Once you know the patterns aren't coincidental, you can apply mathematics to codify them. Your math will likely not be completely accurate (as was discussed here, Dirac's Equation turned out to only apply for a limited set of wave functions), but it will be closer to the underlying patterns of the universe. From there, you can refine your math by seeking out those cases where it doesn't apply and figuring out why not. Then you make new math to explain those cases, and then usually have a really difficult time reconciling the new math with the old math. You know they're both right in their specific cases, but you can't figure out a general equation that describes both. That last step is where physics is right now in the real world. We have all these equations for specific cases, but linking them all together into a unified whole is difficult.

I always found it interesting that the best story-tellers are STEM majors that are also interested/involved in art.

Best of both worlds, maybe? Smart and creative is a good mixture.

But Anno got kicked out of art school for failing to pay his tuition.

Well first you square a square.
