minus-squareBlackout@fedia.iolinkfedilinkarrow-up66arrow-down1·6 months agoThere’s a third dimension now?
minus-squareNounsAndWords@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up46·6 months agoNot really, but it’s a useful assumption for lots of different types of maths.
minus-squareJackFrostNCola@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·6 months agoAs long as everything you imagine in 3D space is spherical
minus-squareKlear@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·edit-26 months agoQuaternions make a whole lot more sense when you imagine a third spatial axis and use them to rotate a hypothetical 3D object.

minus-squareZoopZeZoop@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·6 months agoYes, and now some bozos are even discussing a 4th dimension. Something to do with chess, I think.
minus-squareKazuchijouNo@lemy.lollinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up32·6 months agoMy thoughts precisely, they are just assumimg this is just a 2D circle, when in reality it’s more likely to be a 3D sphere. They aren’t accounting for the area of a 3D object, we don’t even know the thickness of the “slices” that are flying.
