Comments by "" (@walperstyle) on "The Simplest Math Problem No One Can Solve - Collatz Conjecture" video.
The 3x+1 doesn't work with negative numbers because negative numbers are just that, a different thing, different direction. They wouldn't act the same. Our math model is junk and missing LOTS of important things. Why stop with negative numbers, go into imaginary and polynomials subbing in for X.
