dreadforks: 14-billion-years-later: (Geometric) Rules are Meant To Be BrokenAnyone who has ever been subject to a math class featuring geometry or trigonometry will be able to tell you that ALL triangles have internal angles equal to 180 degrees. Yet here we have a picture of an orange with a triangle composing of entirely right angles. All the geometric rules for making a triangle apply, it’s simply the surface that makes the difference. To get a better understanding of why this is a triangle imagine that you are some small bug on the surface of that orange, you have no idea that it is a sphere and you set out to make a triangle. No matter what you do you will always end up with a shape that has angles greater than 180 degrees. Now imagine you’re a human, on a planet, floating through curved space-time… Every triangle you’ve ever drawn has had internal angles greater than 180 degrees. the hook not mentioned: no lines, only arcs or curves compose the sides of the “triangle”. Dreadforks’ commentary ftw!! Geometry gets me all hot and bothered x) Lovely photograph.
