"So, now the cat is out of the bag, or out of the box as we physicists like to say, can I have the real math?" Wagner asks. "I don't need to destroy the universe with another big bang, but I need to know how it would work. My life has been dedicated to mathematics and understanding the mechanics of the universe, I don't think I could continue knowing that the answers are there but are being kept from me."
Joe smiled, "Professor, I've already told you I am not interfering with your work in any way."
"But the math systems are wrong. I can't get to the solution without the right tools."
"You got far enough to figure out that they were wrong. Now you just need to take the next step."
Wagner's intense expression disappeared in an instant. He was silent for a moment, then his eyes flew open wide, "You mean, I should figure out what the correct mathematics would be to enable me to solve the problems…Ha! Of course, the bigger challenge!"
