darkjedioftheknight:classicsmatters:mdt:epistemologicalfallacy:goats are literally Masters of PhysicsThe fourth dimension is not time.It is goat.Fun fact for the classicists out there: the ancient Greeks realized that goats were crazy physics-ignorers and so they created a word that means “so steep even a goat can’t stand on it.” From the TLG LSJ:αἰγίλιψ [γῐ], ῐπος, ὁ, ἡ, (expl. by Gramm. from αἶξ, λείπω, cf. Sch.Il.9.15) destitute even of goats, hence, steep, sheer, πέτρη Il.9.15, al. (not in Od.), A.Supp. 794 (lyr.), Lyc.1325; also in form αἰγίλιπος, Hsch. (Perh. cognate with Lith.lipti `climb’.)thoodleoo -- source link
