Solving real world challenges with out-of-this-world Web3 tech.

I’d like to tell you a math story. ‘Ah yes boring’, but hear me out.

Mathematics began to quantify our existence, and for centuries mathematicians only worked with real numbers. For 4,000 years societies around the world unsuccessfully attempted to solve the cubic, and couldn’t grasp the negative area caveat. Only when math was split from the real world entirely and imaginary numbers were used did we make breakthroughs. Today these fanciful numbers are used in the heart of our best theories of the universe.

Schrödinger separated math from reality in his wave equation, by adding i - the squire root of negative one; an imaginary number for a totally real world problem. To his, and the entire worlds delight, he uncovered that nature works with with complex numbers and not with real numbers.

Schrödinger put the square root of minus one into the equation, and suddenly it made sense. — Freeman Dyson, physicist.

It is the basis of all of chemistry and the majority of physics. (Thanks Veritasium!)

In much the same way, arguably, Web3 is the catalyst to the new norm. Web3 has the ability to transcend the frivolous pictures of pixelated rocks and whale GIFs and enter into a higher realm where it is no longer just quirky, inutile code; but rather contribute to an entirely monumental shift in the inevitable metaverse.

This is evident in the innovative works of the latest from Stellenbosch’s Silicon Valley, FF, where real-world applications are built for previously idealized blockchain concepts. A powerhouse of Web3 tech, Fanfire is geared to functionally endeavor NFT projects relating to everything from nature conservation to fan engagement. Watch this space, imaginary concepts are gaining real-world momentum.
