No one got the answer yet, so keep thinking everyone.![]()
Was it important that it was 1m^2 or could it have been any sized square?
Yes, very, very important.
And no, there are no imaginary walls around the square.
Remember, I said before that it was a physic's based riddle and that it deals with metric units. So everyone think about that when trying to come up with the answer.

I doubt it's that sort of thing. But you never know. I think it might be something to do with a mathematical way of saying 1 meter squared or something similar but I really son't know.
Hint, hint!
Edit:
Just posting it again so I don't have to go to the middle of the previous page to reread it.
When scientists die, they play hide-and-seek in heaven (don't ask why the riddle starts this way, it just does so go with it). One day, it was Einstein's turn to be the seeker, and, as usual, all the other scientists began to hide while Einstein covered his eyes and counted to 100...
...except Newton. While Einstein was counting, Newton drew a square in the sand, each side measuring one meter. He then sat inside the square.
When Einstein finished counting, he saw Newton sitting down and ran over to tag him, saying "Newton's it! Newton's it!". Newton began to argue back that he wasn't it. The other scientists in hiding heard the argument and came out. Newton presented his case and the other scientists agreed that Newton was right.

Jeez, Cheddergirl!
I asked a high school teacher and they didn't know!
...is that cheating?
Well, does it have anything to do with robots or metric-customary conversion?P

Robots, no. Unit conversion does have something to do with it, though (but not metric-customary conversion).

Just searched it up on the internet and found the answer. (yes, yes, I'm a cheat) I would not have got that. Nice riddle though.

What is the answer?
Not telling. >:D
I'll give a tip, kimmy: give up, you won't get it.

I have a question, cheddar. But if I tell you it will give a bit away so I'll gainsboro it.
I understand the answer, but who is (was probably, come to think of it) 'Pascal'? Was he some scientist?

Pascal is the unit of pressure.

Blaise Pascal (French pronunciation: [blɛz paskal]; June 19, 1623 – August 19, 1662), was a French mathematician, physicist, inventor, writer and Catholic philosopher. He was a child prodigy who was educated by his father, a Tax Collector in Rouen. Pascal's earliest work was in the natural and applied sciences where he made important contributions to the study of fluids, and clarified the concepts of pressure and vacuum by generalizing the work of Evangelista Torricelli. Pascal also wrote in defense of the scientific method.

Only if you want to. I assume the unit, pascal was named after a mathematician named pascal... ?

Oh wait. Pascal must be the guy who made 'pascal's triangle'. I knew about it but got reminded of it from Kim's sig.
So anyway, riddles people, riddles.

A man drove a car, which had just been repaired. The man talked with his friend using a phone. But now the man is dead. What is the reason he died?
My teacher told me this riddle, and it took me AGES to figure out.

Drove? Had? Talked?
He did this all a long time ago then died of age.

One by one meter is a square meter, and newton on square meter is pascal. (1 Pa = 1 N/m²)
I didn't read werdna's hidden text.
Yep, that's it. Newton argued that Pascal was it.
