3. And I promise the math isn't really that hard...

So if we don't change the pythagorean theorem and we take all possible answers for a^2, b^2 and c^2... we get

+ - a
+ - b
+ - c

Normally, you just use the 3 answers but now you just us a + b = c and -a + b = c and on and on... it makes it real complicated so mathematicians will love it... LOL...

But by having multiple answers... we can simulate some quantum effects...

The only problem is at that level, space is really very curved so you can't just use the Pythagorean Theorem... you gotta tweak it and all I did was make the standard Theorem work on a curved line. It's not remotely as hard as it sounds... but I totally get why it could seem that way...

But one cool thing you can do with it is get much better GPS than you do now... not that GPS is bad but still, you can save a lot of gas by driving through the desert as opposed to over the mountains....
