@hypolite @lunch @StefanEJones or distance(raptor)^2

[at@mathstodon.xyz]

@ScriptFanix @StefanEJones surely velociraptor = dpositionraptor/dt is even correcterer

[datum@zeroes.ca]

@StefanEJones Distanceraptor is implied by spaceraptor https://www.latimes.com/books/jacketcopy/la-et-jc-hugos-puppies-20160427-snap-htmlstory.html

[dogfox@kpop.social]

Cartesian vectors don't form a group under multiplication* so division isn't defined.

*either kind. They are not closed under the dot product and there is no cross product identity.

@dogfox @ScriptFanix @StefanEJones aw, beans...

[thelancashireman@hostux.social]

@StefanEJones

Being picky:

Velociraptor = d (Distanceraptor) / dt

(Works when Distanceraptor isn't constant)

[squirrellybob@mastodon.social]

@StefanEJones if you integrate that you can find the acceleraptor

[allpoints@mstdn.social]

@cptbutton @BorisBarbour @StefanEJones it's actually Positionraptor/Timeraptor.

[violanders@mastodon.nu]

@StefanEJones
This implies the existence of an acceleraptor.

@StefanEJones@dice.camp

Actually that should be distanceraptor/time because otherwise the raptors cancel each other out...

[guenther@chaos.social]

@StefanEJones

the two raptors cancelling each other:

[jscybersec@infosec.exchange]

@StefanEJones I can hear my science teacher screaming that it's actually a vector X-D

[acm_redfox@jawns.club]

@StefanEJones the face on that guy just made my morning! :))

[zalasur@mastodon.surazal.net]

@StefanEJones Don't overthink it? Challenge accepted.

*revs up the Acceleraptor*

[kyreeth@dragon.style]

@tezoatlipoca @efi @ScriptFanix @StefanEJones time(raptor) comes for us all

[kwf@social.afront.org]

@StefanEJones technically the raptors would cancel out?

[matildalove@wetdry.world]

@StefanEJones the component raptors are seldom discussed since they post no threat individually: the distanceraptor can reach you anywhere on the planet, but only the timeraptor knows when to show up.
