like in real life what is it you're trying to do

2017-11-25 21:55:14 UTC  

Showing how the pythagorean theorem works in an infinite number of dimensions not just with two dimensions like you learn in shool it has broad applications in computational geometry, 3d computer graphics, measurements of the earth, space navigation, physics it's endless.

2017-11-25 21:55:16 UTC  

馃槃

2017-11-25 21:56:28 UTC  

so 2d pyfagorean theorem gives you the hypotenuse length, if you add a dimension does it give you the triangle's area?

2017-11-25 21:56:47 UTC  

like if you take 3 line segments, does it give you the area of the triangle between the points?

2017-11-25 21:57:17 UTC  

just trying to understand the application concept

2017-11-25 21:57:29 UTC  

you can extend the theorem to 3 dimensions for example all you have to do is add it as well like sqrt(a^2 + b^2 + c^2)

2017-11-25 21:57:35 UTC  

that's it, it applies to any number of dimensions

2017-11-25 21:57:59 UTC  

that's it? square root of variables squared?

2017-11-25 21:58:12 UTC  

to find a length between 2 points ye

2017-11-25 21:58:18 UTC  

I see

2017-11-25 21:58:22 UTC  

length between 2 points

2017-11-25 21:58:41 UTC  

so in the 3d version, where you had 3 vectors at right angle, what would the result of that tell you

2017-11-25 21:58:52 UTC  

And if you modify the pythagorean theorem or just subtract two vectors/points with eachother and then compute the pythagorean theorem on the resulting vector from the subtraction you get the distance between the two points in space.

2017-11-25 21:59:23 UTC  

nigger turn down your autism, just answer my questions straight so I can understand

2017-11-25 21:59:39 UTC  

if you had 3 vectors that were all perpendicular to each other it would tell you the total length of all 3

2017-11-25 21:59:46 UTC  

only when all are perpendicular

2017-11-25 21:59:50 UTC  

okay

2017-11-25 22:00:35 UTC  

wait... so if you had 3 vectors perpendicular, all with magnitude 1, that theorem would give you sqrt3, like 1.7

2017-11-25 22:00:44 UTC  

yeah

2017-11-25 22:00:49 UTC  

what does that magnitude equal in actual geometry

2017-11-25 22:00:54 UTC  

and then if you had 4 dimensions you'd get 2, etc.

Are you making a Michael Angelo painting with the guy stretched out all golden ratio like with your words my nigga?

2017-11-25 22:01:23 UTC  

So if you have a vector represent an individual human the dimensions could be their age, height, sex etc etc. Then you could have a cloud of points representing people and then compute the distance from one person to another across all their different metrics.

2017-11-25 22:01:47 UTC  

so you have 3 vectors 1 unit long all perpendicular, then 1.7ish as the result of the formula, but what is the 1.7? distance from what to what?

2017-11-25 22:02:09 UTC  

if you line up all vectors one after the other, that would be the shortest length from the beginning to the end

2017-11-25 22:02:24 UTC  

like the triangle hypotenuse, the exact same as that but in 3 dimensions

2017-11-25 22:02:47 UTC  

Hope you like it.

who is that

2017-11-25 22:02:59 UTC  

J do you suppose you could draw me a quick MSpaint pic?

2017-11-25 22:03:25 UTC  

google has some good ones

2017-11-25 22:04:05 UTC  

ah, I see

2017-11-25 22:04:21 UTC  

@white pride world wide

2017-11-25 22:04:28 UTC  

i figure that's what he was trying to get across

2017-11-25 22:04:31 UTC  

that makes sense

2017-11-25 22:04:43 UTC  

You embody some classical Swedish virtues. Not even just nordic, but specifically Swedish

2017-11-25 22:05:11 UTC  

WPWW needs to clean up his presentation. I like to watch his thoughts because he's smart and gets stuff done so I don't talk trash, but a bit of clarity would be nice
