Nope. Check it with Photoshop or whatever you need. pure 180-degree rotations.

Not OP, but Protip for everyone. Press Esc while the .gif is open to pause it.

Sorry, not 180 degrees... 180 degrees minus whatever the angle of those "inner" lines is. I think they're 5 degrees, so the rotations are 175 degrees. But whatever the angle, they're pure rotations.

The only way it's possible is if the 'squares' simply change to bigger 'squares' to fill the space in the middle and they move the small white squares to the center to trick you into thinking they just rotated the 'squares'. I don't need to measure anything because it's just mathematically impossible.

I trust my logic telling me that since the sides of the large square do not change the shapes MUST alter their shapes in some manner, I don't care in what, but they must. One does not simply create area from nothing.

The area is expanding. You can see the hypotenuse move.

>> No.1583446

obviously the area of the red square went somewhere else. There is likely a very thin line of emptiness between 2 pieces, or the new square itself is slightly smaller. Area cannot just fucking disappear.

In the first frame of OP's pic, say the sidelength of the original square is 2S, and the sidelength of the inner square is 2s. Area of original square is thus $4S^2$, and the area of the four chunks are $4(S^2 - s^2)$. Then, distance from side to center is S. The long side of the irregular quadrilateral is $\sqrt(S^2 - s^2) + s$, and the short side is $\sqrt(S^2 - s^2) - s$. Adding these together, you get that the sidelength of the altered square is $2\sqrt(S^2 - s^2$. Therefore, the areas in fact DO match up.
