Is she real or imaginary? Is she just a figment of mathematical imagination? Or is she a physical geometric progression? She has always provided mathematicians and physicists alike with numerical certitudes that irreversible entropy exists and also helps them tame large numbers approaching infinity. Without her services logarithms are valueless hence antilogarithms become meaningless. Consequently, no physical theory could possibly exist. She asserts that probability will eventually reached absolute certainty but it will never go beyond unity or sink below vacuity. Try hard as she can, she could never be normalized or even renormalized. Commonly, in the house of ten-fold symmetry, she shows up only for all fractional powers of her bases, while vanishes if the powers are fully integrated. The degree of her charming character increases for larger and larger numbers but becomes zero at exactly one. Her negative character sadly appears for all lesser numbers that could not complete a whole. In the world of mathematics, she is truly real. However, her moods swing between 1 and 0. Zero, when her power is fully transcended. Nevertheless, she is completely unified when she reaches the end of eternity. The following sites said something about her: http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Mantissa.html and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mantissa and http://www.thefreedictionary.com/mantissa.
