I mean, at an atomic level, could a Pythagorean triple not make a right triangle?

    "In theory", if one of those angles equals exactly 90 deg. But "in reality", nothing will ever truly measure exactly 90 deg. Best you're going to get is 90.0000-something. Reality doesn't work in absolutes...only approximates. Some are more accurate than others, but none are perfect.

    If a triangle oscillates from having an angle greater than 90 deg to less than 90 deg, there has to be a moment where it equaled exactly 90 per the hairy ball theorem

    Oh but you see (you fool!) you used the word theorem, ergo, by your own admission, this only works in theory! Hoisted by your own petard! - Archangel1313, probably
