A scalene finish.

That’s square, man.

That question is still open. We still don’t know if the universe is completely flat or which way it is curved.

“They were never introduced.” From a very old B.C.

Who doesn’t like creating a love circle without any angles involved?

They don’t travel in the same circles.

Interestingly enough, you cannot prove that parallel lines don’t intersect. And in some geometries, they do intersect.

Right?

Math is just a model of the universe. A model that works very well and we haven’t found anything remotely better yet. Parallel lines are part of that model. They don’t meet when restricted to one plane because that’s how we defined them. In other words, they meet because we said they don’t meet.

The lines could be off by 0.000001mm and you would not be able to tell, but they would eventually meet.

Love in the Time of Geometry. Wasn’t David Hasselhoff in that film?

The answer to everything is 42.

Mysteries of math solved. Next week: Is there an end to Pi?

Parallel lines will meet when put in perspective.

Parallel lines are only possible in Euclidean space. We actually live in a non-Euclidean space. Fortunately, at the scales most of use for calculation, the difference is negligible.

Resolve to go off…

“…how come parallel lines never meet?”

They’re extremely susceptible to an ancient virus that was never eradicated, so they need to keep their social distance.
