  the bell curve meme with the extremes saying that there is no issue with the posted meme, and the center of the bell curve saying it is impossible because the diagonals of a square are root two times the length of its sides

  Its possible in 3 spacial dimensions, which last time I checked is the number of dimensions we exist in.

      Could rotate it so it looks square ish

    In theory yes, but in practice those 4 people would be standing on a plane (i.e. Ground).

    Yep, it’s a regular triangular pyramid.

    That wouldn’t project onto a 2D surface as a square though.

      An isometric projection of a regular tetrahedron could absolutely be a square.

      In fairness, he actually knows a lot about astrophysics. The problem is that he likes to pontificate on all things science as if he’s degreed in every field.

  Maybe they’re standing on a sphere.

    That would make it even less possible

      How do you figure? Make a tetrahedron of the points. Form a sphere around the points. Everyone is equidistant.

  Pythagoras wasn’t the first to describe the relationship and he didn’t prove it mathematically, but he still got his name attached to it for centuries.

  That’s life goal stuff right there.

      I don’t know why, but my Lemmy client is insisting that I haven’t read your reply yet even though I’ve marked it red five times. So now I’m responding

  I wonder how universal it is that my brain can’t read “calm down, calm down” without it being in a Scouse accent

    Dunno about universal, but UK-wide certainly

• Empricorn@feddit.nl ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

  I love science memes, but this is just silly. It’s so obviously “at least” 1.5 meters. If you’re in this exact formation, you are 1.5m from 2 people… and about 2.12m from the other one.

  source

  • iii@mander.xyz ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    Then why not write >= 1.5m? Check mate atheist

    source

    • Empricorn@feddit.nl ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      Because it’s implied…? The graphic is based on health experts’ advice that people stay at least 1.5 meters apart, not that they stay exactly 1.5 meters apart with weird synchronized movements.

      Sorry, I’m doubling-down on my argument! But the real reason is probably because not everyone know what > and < mean…
