| Another thing with the pythagorean ratios is that they lead to an important number in probability: IQR. For they sum to 3/ which is the half obtained by 3/4-1/4. And one thing would be interesting to note is that (1/3)^2+(2/3)^2=0.55555... period. The square root of this is: 0.745355992... An irrational number. Pythagoreans neglected irrational numbers and when a mathematician proved that the square root of 2 was irrational, they burned him to them. What could this mean? Will there ever be a fall of what I believe is the magnum opus of all mathematics, which is the pythagorean theorem? |
