The `absolute_distance` method in the `pyquaternion.Quaternion` module calculates the absolute distance between two quaternions.
A quaternion is a mathematical object that extends the concept of complex numbers in three dimensions. It consists of a scalar component (real part) and a vector component (imaginary part), which together represent a rotation in three-dimensional space.
The `absolute_distance` method takes two quaternions as input and returns the absolute distance between them. This distance is calculated by subtracting one quaternion from the other and then taking the absolute value of the resulting quaternion.
This method is useful in various applications, such as computer graphics, robotics, and physics simulations, where comparing the difference between two rotations or orientations is required. It allows for quantifying the discrepancy between two quaternions and can be used to determine the similarity or dissimilarity of their rotations.
