      In theory yes, but in practice those 4 people would be standing on a plane (i.e. Ground).

    the bell curve meme with the extremes saying that there is no issue with the posted meme, and the center of the bell curve saying it is impossible because the diagonals of a square are root two times the length of its sides

        How do you figure? Make a tetrahedron of the points. Form a sphere around the points. Everyone is equidistant.

          Ah, I was thinking of curved space over the surface of the sphere. Right you are. No need for me to start getting non-Euclidean

    Pythagoras wasn’t the first to describe the relationship and he didn’t prove it mathematically, but he still got his name attached to it for centuries.

    That’s life goal stuff right there.

    I love science memes, but this is just silly. It’s so obviously “at least” 1.5 meters. If you’re in this exact formation, you are 1.5m from 2 people… and about 2.12m from the other one.

        Because it’s implied…? The graphic is based on health experts’ advice that people stay at least 1.5 meters apart, not that they stay exactly 1.5 meters apart with weird synchronized movements.

        Sorry, I’m doubling-down on my argument! But the real reason is probably because not everyone know what > and < mean…
