Its possible in 3 spacial dimensions, which last time I checked is the number of dimensions we exist in.
Huh, checks out.
Could rotate it so it looks square ish
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.
Grrr…yes. You’re right. Isometrically.
Neil deGrasse Tyson has no business next to the other 2.
But he’s Black Science Man! How else would I know the sun is hot without him learning me?
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.
I have to admit I find his opinion on every single common thing like it’s some profound thought really jarring
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.
Maybe they’re standing on a sphere.
flat-earthers hate this one proof.
hyperbolic-earthers you mean :D
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.
Ah, I was thinking of curved space over the surface of the sphere. Right you are. No need for me to start getting non-Euclidean
It’s a minimum separation guideline not a a description of a geometry.
Ooooh that’s why people were angry. I didn’t have to follow them anytime from 1.5m ?
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
No, stop spreading misinformation! Because of you people will not be in the right positions and get covid. Downvoted.
calm down man, there is an invisible and pretty large mole hill in the middle.
That makes it even worse
Hyperbolic-earthers approve.
Mmmm, pringles!
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
Is your brain wearing a shell suit as it does that?
I also don’t see a problem. I have however found an error.
print out the meme and highlight it using highlighter
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.
Then why not write >= 1.5m? Check mate atheist
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 knows what > and < mean…
