Consider that the circle has an infinite number of points along it's circumference therefore you can never get closer nor further than your starting point.

Circles don't have to join up; they can meaner about infinitely, in the right mathematical paradigm.emmline wrote:This would be true if you'd started in the center.

Welcome to Math 406: Non Euclidean Geometry. Please check your preconceptions at the door and line up to the left to have the hinged doggie-door installed over your cerebrum. Your instructor today will be Douglas Adams' dog Rex, with the assistance of St. Augustine's mummified left big toe. Anyone taking this course concurrently with Logic 425 will be flogged with a cosmic string.
Happily tooting when my dogs let me.

The only constant in the whole universe is that there is no constant. The only thing that never changes is the fact that everything changes.
If matter=energy and energy=matter then at absolute zero would matter cease to exist, since at absolute zero energy = zero?
*edited* I know about zero point energy and all, but there's nothing funny about it.*edit*
