I have always wondered if negative values have a meaning, and we just havent discovered how to use them.
For example, if we make an exercise about accelerated movement, and we obtain 2 values for time from a quadratic equation: one positive, and one negative. We are taught to ignore the negative value because it makes no sense in the real world. But is it really true?
I feel mathematics always tell us something. We just need to discover how to interpret negative values.
