| − | The use of curly braces around {location, location, location} might also be a joke.
| |
| − | "...using curly braces refers to the character vector that is stored within the string."

| − | ::The link points to a specific syntax for one programming language, namely MATLAB. Other languages use {...}, of course, but equally common is (...) or [...]. But importantly it is not a standard math/physics/astronomy notation. In a paper, unless otherwise specified, (x, y, z) is a triple of numbers making a vector whereas {x, y, z} is the set containing x, y, z and nothing else, which might therefore have 1, 2 or 3 elements. If there’s any joke here, it’s that {location, location, location} = {location}.

| − | I've forgotten 110% of what I learned about math, but I thought {length, length, length} (or, equivalently, angle and magnitude) were equally important to a vector in 3-space. [[Special:Contributions/172.69.62.160|172.69.62.160]] 18:22, 12 September 2020 (UTC)

| − | :([Coming in three+ years later] A triplet like (1,2,3) can be treated as a vector in 3-space. Consider it the termination of a line segment extending out from the origin (0,0,0). You now have a direction (the way the segment points) and a magnitude (its length)--that is, a vector. [[User:Nitpicking|Nitpicking]] ([[User talk:Nitpicking|talk]]) 03:41, 18 November 2023 (UTC)

| − | she also delivers a demonstration on the detection method as a passing gravitational wave will lead to the Radiobursts being slightly out of sync to their expected timing

| |
| − | There is also another joke that vectors only encode direction not location. To get a location a vector must be applied to another location e.g. a vector relative to the origin.

| − | This comic is also reminiscent of this knock-knock joke: "Knock, knock." "Who's there?" "Interrupting cow." "Interrupting co--" "MOO!" [[Special:Contributions/108.162.219.92|108.162.219.92]] 13:11, 18 September 2020 (UTC) delete-if-unhelpful
