   Definitely not. But it's a loop of some sort, sure.

   i'd rather get somwthing that doesnt work rather than something that works but not as intended.

   
   Both of them works as intended, one just does it worse.

   Originally posted by Sudo Ovals objectively exist so the degree to which circles can objectively exist depends on the universal parameters we can collectively agree on of where an oval becomes a circle and to how fine a degree. There should be a governing body for deciding this and nothing else
   
   Reminds me of (IIRC) Timex's original creator who got a watch set to greenich mean and went village to village charging people to get the righ time, then when he died his daughter basically tried to copywrite time itself. Maybe that was a dream I had about a supervillan idk

   
   Anything where 100% of the perimeter isn't equidistant from the centre point, isn't a circle.

   Originally posted by Obbe Its just a stretched circle.

   
   That's not true actually. A circle is a special case of an ellipse, where the two foci are at the same point. Ellipses themselves are essentially conic sections.

   Originally posted by Obbe Sure, but a circle doesn't have to be perfect to call it a circle. You aren't "being fooled" into calling your chair a chair just because it isn't the ideal perfect chair.

   
   It's either a circle or it isn't. In this case there are no actual circles by geometric definition.

   the reason i needed the shot ia because i'm sick of being treated like a dalit. not because i believe this flu is real.
   
   lol.

   
   If it's unnecessary you should get the best one so it doesn't fuck you if it's bad like if it has Chinese microns in it.

   Haha sinovac is even less effective than the Johnson & Johnson single shot vaccine, what a scam.

    so all the stress, starving myself and wearing steel toed boots as my main shoes has really paid off.

    You're probably sitting on a chair right now. It might not be the ideal perfect chair, but you still call it a chair.

    Originally posted by Meikai Yes, circles exist. Perfect circles may not, but the issue there is perfection - not the circle itself. By the same logic a perfect square probably doesn't exist (is perhaps even less likely to exist). But squares exist. Perfection does not.

    
    Consider "perfect circle" here to mean "actual circle" Vs something that might be approximately close enough to a circle to fool you into thinking it is one.
    
    Perfection in this case is an essential matter separating a circle from not-a-circle. After all you could easily be fooled into thinking an oval is a circle if you are just looking at it at an angle.
    
    A circle is an object where the perimeter is equidistant from a fixed point. In the physical world, no such structures exist.

    You can prove something doesn't exist deductively.

    Originally posted by aldra I dunno, if you're talking about quantum effects making behaviour statistical when you get small enough, the same would apply to any standard shape…

    
    Sure do any standard shapes exist then?
    
    
    
    

    circles might be the most likely to exist though, given gravity is (at least now) a universal constant

    
    It propagates radially but the shape and distribution of the field wouldn't be radially perfect. For example for the earth, it varies widely enough that nuclear submarines, for navigation when GPS signals are unavailable under deep submersion and due to obstructive geographical situations, you can use a technique known as gravitational gradiometry to get millimetre-accurate navigation at any point on the earth, and the same technique can be used to scout for mineral resource deposits like untapped oil wells, with just a flyover from a gradiometric survey plane.
