From the page: "We've underestimated the Pythagorean theorem all along. It's not about triangles; it can apply to any shape. It's not about a, b and c; it applies to any formula with a squared term. It's not about distance in the sense of walking diagonally across a room. It's about any distance, like the 'distance' between our movie preferences or colors. If it can be measured, it can be compared with the Pythagorean Theorem. Let's see why."

I like the way this article generalizes a Pythagorean metric all the way up to measuring distance between movie preferences or colors. Nicely done.

This is very important in computer science.

I bet you can't apply it to the 4th, spacetime dimension.
