    Default The Circle

    I love the circle.

    I have had many discussions with Professors of Mathematics over the shape.

    I do Astro-Physics and yet I still dont fully know this mysterious thing.

    It is beautiful; and I cant figure it out.

    Sometimes I doubt whether a perfect circle even exists.

    We have no example of it in nature.

    Maybe its all in the mind.

    What RayRay? The musings of a 10 year old. Pi is irrational. Heisenberg uncertainty principle tells us perfection is of the mind. I think you have been talking with your 8th grade gym teacher.

    Your Astrophysics professor would have told you to chill son. Our understanding of a circle works just fine.



    This was not even a musing - it was a pointless ramble. Of course absolute perfection in relation to the circle is only in the mind. It has nothing to do with math.

    Wow, that wasn't a condescending or useless reply at all. Way to keep the stereotype of the jackass atheist alive and well.

    if you've been reading thru the forum at all, you may see that rayback has been a bit of a condescending jackass himself from the getgo. of couse, this is no excuse to respond to him a similar manner. but many members here have already tried different approaches with him. in any case, rayback has been banned in the Shire and is apparently still sore about it

    I always get a good laugh when reading Rayback's posts! This one was no exception
