minus-squareWhelks_chance@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 month agoIs there mathematical proof for this? It sounds like it could be true, but also sounds like you could actively create a floor which it wasn’t true for
minus-squarebasmati@lemmus.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·1 month agoYes there is. The wobbly table theroem. https://people.math.harvard.edu/~knill/teaching/math1a_2011/exhibits/wobblytable/
minus-squareskulblaka@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up3·1 month agoI’m pretty sure this doesn’t account for any floor that isn’t a flat plane.
minus-squarecriitz@reddthat.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·1 month agoIt doesn’t require a flat plane ground, but it does require the table legs to be equal in length https://youtu.be/aCj3qfQ68m0

minus-squaremipadaitu@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·1 month agoIt does work in the real world, as long as the floor is the problem, and the table is perfect. Most of the time at a restaurant, it’s the table that’s been beaten up and is no longer even.
