1. I am not feeling good, so I was having a hard time understanding hash functions in general, but my main question I was wondering is why when h(m1) = h(m2), m1≠m2. Is it just the way that a hash function works that there are many ways to interpret it? I don't understand if we are encrypting and decrypting a function or not in this chapter.
2. I don't have much to reflect on. I am kind of out of it - I went into anaphylactic shock today and now I'm on some meds that are making me really tired. But I was trying to look at examples online about hash functions, and I noticed that they mentioned caches as an example. I always wondered how caches work, I know they do it for websites when you google it. But I couldn't quite understand how they work. But it's still interesting to me.
