minus-squaresomeacnt_@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·edit-22 months agoHmm, standard embedding to which dimension?
minus-squaresomeacnt_@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·edit-22 months agoWelp, my head cannot comprehend how that is possible. How is it deforming the shape around? Maybe I am confusing homotopy and isotopy again.

minus-squareKogasa@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up8arrow-down1·2 months agoYeah, basic graduate level math is a lot more useful than whatever you do with your life to warrant such an attitude.
minus-squareCaptain Aggravated@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2arrow-down15·2 months agoOh really? Let’s try a thought experiment, shall we? In Universe A, let’s round up everyone with at least a master’s degree in math and shoot them. In Universe B, let’s round up all the mechanics and shoot them. Which one goes to shit faster?
minus-squareKogasa@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up8·2 months agoDid they teach you how to formulate thought experiments in the shop?

Hmm, standard embedding to which dimension?
R^(3) specifically
