And just another thing: I used to start topics saying: "Hi there!": is this right or it sounds wrong/odd?

Thank you!
It could read something like:

"Hi! I was taught that dirac matrices are AT LEAST 4x4 matrices, which means I can also find matrices of higher dimensions than that. The question is, what do these higher-dimension matrices represent? Are they purely mathematically abstract or do they have a physical meaning? I ask this because in every textbook I've used or course I've taken, I've only used 4x4 matrices.
Thanks"
