citation needed in the "historical context", universities have always included mathematics and liberal arts among their areas of inquiry. hypothesis-formulation and logical deduction are fundamental methodologies of mathematics, they originate in that field don't build a "no true scotsman"...

I'm counting 9 elements, not 7?

If that's true, you're doing it wrong. Asked what you have actually learned from these discussions, you've never been able to list much.

I think you may have failed to actually consider my questions, or the provided diagram (from Fu). another opportunity lost

The shortest length across the cross-section is relevant. This means if you have three separate identical columns that buckle, and you tie them together so that they buckle in parallel, it's clear that they can't support each other, and hence the critical length can't increase. Think of the 10...

Yes. I disagree with that, for the reasons stated. The structure of the physical universe is part of the physical universe.

Mathematics is the science of (abstract) structures of thought. When we look at reality, our brain tries to make sense of it by recognizing structure: for example, similar objects can be counted. Mathematics is a method to talk precisely about those structures, and to "prefabricate" insights...

As an early prime number in the series of positive integers, the number seven has greatly symbolic associations in religion, mythology, superstition and philosophy.

Yes. So when the foot is twice as long, but the creature is only twice as heavy, the pressure is half.

I don't really follow the scenario where Bob is scared to be known as wearing a female gorilla costume, yet would be fine with damaging that costume to extort a friend who had no money. The first might result in friendly ribbing, but the second could really damage his standing.

That's where the clown shoe gait comes in: Bigfoot does not "push off", but instead lifts his foot carefully, angling the knee overmuch, as if to leave a clear track. With a normal swift gait, the edges of the print will be 'eroded' at the front and back, especially on sand, from the forward...

1. Against which kinds of forces did the floors provide stability? 2. Where do these forces come from? 3. how does the weight of the interior of a building affect the forces it is subject to? 4. Which forces are not affected by the weight? 5. is it easier to tip an empty box or a full box? 6...

Bob is 6'1 and secure in his masculinity, so your attempt at shaming him doesn't concern him.

No. The outer tube was not designed to stand on its own. I quoted Fu at you, explaining that the floors are needed to accomodate the deficiency of the framed tube design, in the WTC. Here is another source: Overview of the Structural Design of World Trade Center 1, 2, and 7 Buildings Authors...

or maybe—just maybe—they didn't think of the tracks until 9 days later, so the bark became their cover story for the tracks having survived the rain. But instead, they faked the tracks then and there, not considering that that the rain-softened ground would make for much deeper tracks than on...

The 60⁰ triangle with equal sides is called 'equilateral triangle'. Any triangle with two equal sides is called 'isosceles triangle'.

Yes. Not just the distance, the exact position must be maintained (typically in front of the center of the photo).

Yes, almost. Check your trigonometry, it's equal sides for the triangle eye-building 1-building 5-eye. The orthogonal distance is sin(60⁰)×(building 1 to 5 distance), about 87%. Agreed.

Yes. Because, In theory, if the exterior is a perfect tube in the tall building with framed tube system, then the building should behave like a true cantilever with all the lateral forces being resisted by the exterior tube. However, due to the flexibility of spandrel girders and columns, there...
