I can't believe I am having this "conversation". Pythagoras' theorem states that the square of the hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. You can't have a triangle existing in one dimensional space. In the same way, you can't have laws of arithmetic in the absence of numbers. The laws of physics are derived from our observation of the behaviour of physical objects. Some of them may even be wrong and based on our own misunderstanding.
OK, I clearly have not been making my point in a way you can follow, "Wortfish". Maybe if I try a different tact:
Why can you not draw a right angle triangle that does not obey the Pythagorean Theorem? Is that because the Pythagorean Theorem a physical law? Is the reason you cannot violate it the same reason that you cannot jump of a cliff and remain suspended in midair indefinitely? Don't get ahead of yourself, Just answer this one question, and then we can move on.
You're shitslamming a whole thing off one dysfuct, no fair!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
