Metrics

There are more relationships like this one but I won’t take the time to explain them all…mainly cause I don’t really understand them all/don’t care that much. Let’s move on to bigger and better things, The Metric. Now we know about the metric system, right? You know that thing that America reuses to use with meters and kilometers? Well that is a metric of sorts. In math a metric is a sort of…well it’s like Middle Earth. It a place that has its own set of rules and laws. You can do magic there. And there are elves. It’s a lot different from here. And that’s what a metric is. It’s a space that exists outside our own, like scifi, with its own set of rules and laws and things like that. So for LOTR we would call it Tolkien’s metric. Other metrics you might be familiar with include Rowling’s metric (Harry Potter), Roddenberry’s metric (Star Trek) and the Blizzard Entertainment metric (WOW). Some which you may not be familiar with but which we will be using include the Riemannian metric, the Euclidian metric and the Minkowski metric. And we will talk more about those tomorrow.
