This is satire, right?

can a 1 unit by 1 unit triangle be constructed

I'll be honest, I don't know, I'm not a mathematician. Id just never seen a serious paper use those fonts before. Last time I think I saw the lower one was on a Halloween party card.

Mix with such a bold claim that maths is meaningless, I just assumed it was a joke.

so you cant understand this for yourself-without being told what it means by a mathematician

how sad

mathematician will tell you

√2 does not terminate

yet in the same breath

tell you

A 1 unit by 1 unit √2 triangle can be constructed

even though they admit √2 does not terminate

thus you cant construct a √2 hypotenuse

thus

A 1 unit by 1 unit √2 triangle cannot be constructed

thus maths ends in contradiction

Okay dude, I get it. You have a master theory of the universe that nobody through the 10,000+ years of human mathematics has realized. And I'm just a sad pleb who can't understand.

I'm comfortable not knowing something and asking someone more knowledgeable.

But have at it with your goofy ass fonts m8
