Jesus christ I don't even know what a matrix is.

Well, I don't really know how to use them, so we're not that far apart.

It's just a square of numbers, like this:

|1 2 3|
|4 5 6|
|7 8 9|

Depends, they have tons of applications. It's like asking what are numbers for :P

but for example, they serve to solve systems of equations, to treat data in tables (2-variables), they can represent transformations in geometry (rotations, dilations, ...), etc.

And as for using, you can add/substract them (if they are the same size i.e. same number of rows&columns), multiply them (the rule is a bit complicated, but it's easier than the rule for division of numbers XD), take their determinant (it's a number associated with each square matrix), and such.

(if you want we can go to the math thread and I show you examples, better to keep on-topic here)

Interesting drawing.

Someone once told me that when something goes into a black hole whatever is left comes out of a white hole (it was probably just a theory). That is what I see in that drawing (were the black hole becomes a white hole).
Balance is imperative; without it, total collapse and destruction is imminent.
