minus-squareTransporter Room 3@startrek.websiteBannedlinkfedilinkarrow-up25arrow-down3·2 years agoBeyond the general “hehe funny meme” Some seem to think there’s some kind of math going on in people’s heads other than “shortcut” The knowledge of Pythagoras or math doesn’t factor in here at all. Toddlers do this. Having the knowledge just gives you fancy words for the resulting coincidental shape.
minus-squareTimeSquirrel@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up7arrow-down1·edit-22 years ago Having the knowledge just gives you fancy words for the resulting coincidental shape. Isn’t that basically all of physics? Just an abstract concept to describe something that sort of fits the rules we extrapolated from observations so far.
minus-squaregandalf_der_12te@feddit.delinkfedilinkarrow-up3·2 years agoYeah, somebody once explained this to me like “even stupid animals go directly at where they want to go”
minus-squareKruemel@feddit.delinkfedilinkarrow-up9arrow-down1·2 years agoThe way is sqr(2)=1.4 instead of 2.
minus-squareTXL@sopuli.xyzBanned from communitylinkfedilinkarrow-up12arrow-down3·2 years agoIt’s also a straight line between points, so nobody really cares just how much shorter it is.
minus-squareyetAnotherUser@feddit.delinkfedilinkarrow-up8arrow-down1·2 years agoYeah, it’s just the triangle inequality.
minus-squaremyslsl@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up5arrow-down1·2 years agoYeah, true. No Euclidean distances implicit to this problem. Oh, wait…
minus-squareDessalines@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up3·2 years agoYeah… this is just “the shortest distance between two points is a straight line”
