Isotropy

The cut is obviously gonna be more effective as a joist if you put that two by eight on end.

So it's not just the way it's cut, but you're saying it is, what was the word, isotropic? Is that the word you used? Isotropic, yeah.

Isotropic.

It's not isotropic because of the grain and because it is a grained, that isn't the term you used, but

I'm trying.

Got it.

And then isotropy.

Isotropy, on the other hand, means the universe looks the same in all directions from a specific vantage point.

Okay, so it's about the direction you're looking, not where you're standing.

Precisely.
