Kinky. But no, not necessarily. You could say that one of them is the actual person and the other "person" is just the first person's shadow. It's a stretch, but it's the best I've got.
The meme artist here is not thinking in enough dimensions. These constraints result in a tetrahedron. So you just need to stand in a triangle formation and have the last guy go in the center and float less than the average human height above ground.
Stephen Hawking isn’t a pedant, he only went to Epstein’s island to get away from light pollution.
It makes sense if you interpret it as ≥6, which is probably what they meant anyways.
Edit: I'm pretty sure it also works in hyperbolic space
I think you're fine in just 3 dimensions. If the person to the upper left and lower right have a separate elevation from the other two, this is basically just the shape of a 4 sided die.
Well, that's not practical, but is physically possible, we just need someone moving on stilts and we are done
But people exist only on Earth so what do you suggest? Earth being some spinning bouncy ball instead of a majestic plane?
I never thought I'd need to remember that math equation. Little did I know I'd need it to answer a meme on Lemmy. 8.485.
Everyone's saying that this works in 3 dimensional space, but this also works in 2 dimensional space such that each side could be at a minimum six feet. The resulting structure would be a rhombus and not a square, with the distance between two of the individuals being much greater than 6 feet, though, which the artist did not accurately represent.

Dunno why Pythagoras would be mad, since the Pythagorean theorem was known for at least a thousand years before his time.
