Oh sure. Isn't that just like you? Interjecting reason and all.

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.
This would be true if you'd started in the center. But I want to know how you got out of the center if you're moving in a circle?

Circles don't have to join up; they can meaner about infinitely, in the right mathematical paradigm.

how much would a precipice?

I feel more like I do now than I did when I got here.
At the end of it all, I want to be told "Well done". I don't want to _be_ well done!

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*

If your knees bent in the opposite direction to what they do now, what shape would a chair be?

And many a poor man that has roved,
Loved and thought himself beloved,
From a glad kindness cannot take his eyes.
