Circles aren't real.

You can't draw a perfect circle, hence they are not real. Anyone who thinks otherwise is a fag.

Circles and spheres are good approximations for pretty much everything, such as ellipses, television sets, and cows.

>cows
Only if you're a physicist.

Yes, you are on your way into your inner mind.  To state the procedure:

purchase a fine drafting compass.
produce a circle of radius 4 cm.
contemplate your creation.
sense that your creation contemplates you in return.
at that instant of mutual contemplation, you will enter the interior of your mind's image of the circle.
you will be in your inner mind.

>>43

MY CIRCLE IS FLAWED AND WILL NEVER BE GOOD :(

>>44
the drawing is never as perfect as the idea of what a circle is.
the drawing is merely a step to focus your mind on the idea of what a circle is, and to provide an internal image.
perception is not external reality, but it is your internal reality.
do not be so concerned about the external reality of flaws that can never achieve a mind's ideal.
your mind's image of the circle will serve the purpose.

SO YOU'RE SAYING PLATO WAS RIGHT

You can't draw them, but they are still real because they are a concept.

Intangible but still real, dumbass.

Plato's Theory of Forms asserts that Forms (or Ideas), and not the material world of change known to us through sensation, possess the highest and most fundamental kind of reality. Plato spoke of forms (sometimes capitalized in translations: The Forms) in formulating his solution to the problem of universals.

Plato postulated a world of ideal Forms, which he admitted were impossible to know. Nevertheless he formulated a very specific description of that world, which did not match his metaphysical principles. Corresponding to the world of Forms is our world, that of the mimes, a corruption of the real one.

No one has ever seen a perfect circle, nor a perfectly straight line, yet everyone knows what a circle and a straight line are. Plato utilizes the tool-maker's blueprint as evidence that Forms are real: when a man has discovered the instrument which is naturally adapted to each work, he must express this natural form, and not others which he fancies, in the material.

great, now "real" doesn't mean anything anymore

>>53

Let's face it, Plato was a bit of an idiot though. He believed in reincarnation, innate knowledge and all sorts of bullcrap.

So you're saying abstract concepts like perfect circles are idiocy

>>56
Yes. And let's not even mention how stupid Cartesian co-ordinates are.

>>57
Because spherical coordinates are better amirite?

>>58
No, you're just a nigger.

an object can travel in a perfect circle. That's the closest you can get to a perfect circle in real life.

>>60
Wat. Impossible.

>>61
why is it impossible? an object in orbit under the right circumstances should travel in a perfect circle.

>>62
Try making the eccentricity less than the Planck scale. Just try it.

>>63
should be possible on extremely small levels, particles in orbit of other particles.

>>64
except that particles don't really exist

Is anything real?

Love is real

>>65
Bitches don't know about my Japanese.

Hai guise, I just squared the circle!

>>69
No you didn't. Go back to your room Penrose.

the matrix is real

did you use pen? then there's probably an ink blot

did you use pencil? then there's probably a smudge.










the world sucks.

>>72
Stop buying cheap pens.

2PI X R

THAT'S A CIRCLE!

Nothing mathematical is real, because you cannot demonstrate detuctively that any one methematical system of axioms applies to the entire universe. Move on.

>>72
HAHAHA
OH WOW
GO BACK TO LISTENING TO YOUR REPETITIVE GUITARS AND SCREECHING VOICES MUSIC

OP is right, circles don't exist because pi actually equals three. What you think are circles are just hexagons trying to fuck with you.

>>77
No, hexagons are hexagons. What are you talking about?

TL;DR
Squares aren't real either, nor any other geometrical shape.
They all have atomical imperfection that makes them actually composed by jagged lines.

The imperfectities of a "circle" are part of the perfect circle.

You live life thinking a perfect circle was perfectly round, but you had the perfect circle all along. Nature intended for you to have your perfect circle. Everything else is just the next best thing, and you'll never get to the end, because they're always be something more perfect. You think it's there, the end, but there isn't an end. I have mixed feelings about the whole situation.
