This was before the time that decimals had been widely accepted and almost all mathematicians worked with fractions. One day a man named Hippasus came along and proved that there was no whole number or fraction that when squared would equal 2 using Pythagoras’s own theorem. Legend states that Pythagoras’s group threw Hippasus into a body
