I doubt very many science teachers would have said that
I’ve had multiple teachers, including at least one science teacher, say nature doesn’t do straight lines.
It was just as baffling then as it is now. Especially since I’ve always had a fascination with pyrite.
Even snowflakes are all straight lines! I remember seeing close-up images of them in the science magazines we had in school.
Biology/organic chemistry don’t tend to do straight lines. Inorganic chemistry fucking loves order and straight lines.
It’s actually true. Right angles are a theoretical construct, that don’t occur in nature. There is always some degree of variance baked into reality that violate theoretical absolutes.
I mean, at an atomic level, could a Pythagorean triple not make a right triangle?
“In theory”, if one of those angles equals exactly 90 deg. But “in reality”, nothing will ever truly measure exactly 90 deg. Best you’re going to get is 90.0000-something. Reality doesn’t work in absolutes…only approximates. Some are more accurate than others, but none are perfect.
If a triangle oscillates from having an angle greater than 90 deg to less than 90 deg, there has to be a moment where it equaled exactly 90 per the hairy ball theorem
Oh but you see (you fool!) you used the word theorem, ergo, by your own admission, this only works in theory! Hoisted by your own petard! - Archangel1313, probably
Seriously. I feel like this comment section is filled with people who have only ever measured things using a graphics model.
“Hur-dur! My simulation is always 90 degrees.”
💀 lmao
