This is important because the square root of 2 defines 2D space (as the value of the diagonal of a square vs. one of its sides), and the square root of 3 is the inner diagonal of a cube/3D space (where any side is also 1, like the square). The square root of 5 is fundamental to the golden ratio which is (1+sqrt5)/2.
Yikes, just when I thought I understood it!
Just kidding. Thanks for educating us on this!
