just for the record I'm pretty sure the answer to the physics question "why doesn't the skateboard fall through the sidewalk" is because of the normal force

[@ThunderPanzer]

it was either that or, since the normal force and forces in general are mostly just a convenient model that we use for maths and such, it was about atoms repelling each other :P

I mean more specifically it's electromagnetic force. electromagnetism governs basically everything you ever interact with in daily life, it's the thing that stops objects passing through each other, governs chemical reactions, and obviously your EM radiation too like light which is pretty important.

Theory: Pythagoras was an Antlion who discovered the two best numbers: Five and Eightfinity. Then he looked at one of those things where you put shapes in the holes and decided to make life size ones. That was his mistake. He then was killed by his many creations, and was stuffed and put on display in his own workshop. After this, the Geometry Empire travelled from dimension to dimension, and came across the Beta and Canonical universes (Beta due to that citadel picture thing later on in the game and the canon due to the soldiers’ appearance.) They invaded the Garry’s Mod RP Canon and threw numbers at people because the people didn’t have high IQs. Gordon is possessed by two unknown entities who are in control of time and he visits Planet Greece to take down Pythagoras, killing many and also destroying reality in the process, also coming across many combine dimensions, now unrecognisable due to it being from a much different dimension. The gods frowned upon gordon and the Geometric army, now looking at what they had done. Now Gordon explored many further stretches of the multiverse, now at it’s very edge taking down another triangular prism. He arrives on Normal Planet and fights Big Momma Prism in about five seconds. There was a memorial for all who died in the War of Nonesense, May they rest in pythagoras. Dedicated to the entire game making no sense.

[@lenadams854]

They buried(?) that triangle, because apparently it helped gordon solve the problem.

[@lenadams854]

Also, that wasn't the beta citadel. You may have interpreted it as such because the citadel is covered in blockier stuff (Alien tech), which could have made it look like the early citadel.
