Sacred Geometry people are my math heretics— The mad with power inquisition version of me would want them burned at the stake. As it is? I just seethe at their “incorrect appreciation of geometry”

They worship wrong.

I bought a book of geometric constructions — (not reading about it too carefully...) Just cracked it open. It cheerfully gives instructions for constructing a triangle, square, pentagon, hexagon, and heptagon…

A footnote begrudgingly admits the heptagon is only 98.25% correct. 1/

@futurebird … think i found the opposite yesterday … NOT-a-heresy, but an imaginary number! 😁 … and not just some hypothetical, in a math class; in a electronics formula! something I could solder together in the real world! 🥰

found this in radio stuff, re: “Impedence” … matching the feed-line to the antenna. 🤷‍♀️

🤔 “Reactance” component seems like “Imaginary Resistance” … might as well just say it’s measured in “Imaginary Ohms” 😂👍 cool! thanks.
