What's so funny? Of course they are. Mathematicians quite happily deal
in Klein bottles, Moebius strips, n-dimensional vector spaces, etc..
Flight simulators are used to train and check airline pilots in a
virtual world
where engines catch fire, instruments fail, other aircraft are on
collision course etc..
The difference between a mathematician and a theoretical physicist is
that
a mathematician knows the difference.
