Yeah, that's the good part - I almost always learn something in such threads.
There's also useful lessons in pathological argument styles and determined ignorance to be learned from the fools and trolls. You can recognize many of the same techniques being used in many political arguments today, including those instigated by certain anti-science groups in the news these days. |

I remembered (thanks to Cuneiformist) that my family got into a discussion last night on how fast hummingbirds can fly specifically, ruby throated. Looked it up... I win.

If I knew then what I know now then I would know more now than I know. |

NO, if you do a triangulation from two points in 3D space, you can't locate your probe.
You should use 3 POINTS
What color is your tesseract?
Green, because it's not that easy.
See if this helps.
Since you love animations so much , it's even got pretty little moving bits:
