P. 37
To make my point, let me take an example from mathematics (because we are engineers, duh!).
“Why is there always a positive number inside a square root symbol?”
Simple and easy answer; there is no number which will give you back a negative number when you
square it. Now “What if we introduce a negative number inside the square root?” We get a complex
number.
You see, somewhere someone unleashed their inner annoying kid and asked “What if...” for the
above question and shook the foundation of mathematics and created possibilities for quantum
mechanics, quantum computing and other fields of study.
It is through these two questions one can think deeply about simple things. These two questions will
guide one to think logically in every situation (works for me!) be it love, life, mathematics, science and
even sports and athletics too.
So, for all the thinkers, doers and crazy people out there, here’s a rhetorical question for you.
What if, you started asking Why???
