Can anyone think of an example of a perfect circle (or sphere) in nature? I'll send a dollar of ps money to anyone who can give me a definite example.
I'm confident my dollar is safe.

That's a shoop of a perfect circle. I can tell by the pixels.
Best I can come up with is wave propagation, but even then, a wave's shape is determined by the medium is propagates through. On the molecular level, it won't be a circle.
I GOOGLED A PER FECT CIRCLE WHAT MNORE DO YOU WANT FROM ME
Try googling "Elvis is still alive".
i did but couldn't find any circles
The moon/sun from our perspective.
Stems of plants have crosssections that can be circular. Sunflower centers are circular. Weeds rooted in the ground but blowing around and leaving a trail in sand or something could leave a circular track.
Irises obviously, a well as pupils of humans and other animals. Ripples in a pond. Theres probably hundreds of examples
Oyster pearls?
How would you demonstrate that anything is a perfect circle/sphere? The best you can do is say it is within some fine measure but you could never demonstrate it to be perfect as you can in geometry. Even constructing a circle under the procedures of geometry won't yield a perfect circle, just something so close as makes no odds.
You can't. If you measure a circle and conclude it is perfect, then you just made pi a rational number.Quote:

Ongies gonna ong
you might be thinking of plato's world of forms
errr whoa ya wtf kant? realm of forms or ideas is correct though. i was just off by a millenium or so.
initial lack of fact-checking nonwithstanding, my point stands!
just stoked my pols201 knowledge was called upon and I even picked the correct name!
meh mine was more like high school, which was like a frickin decade ago.
Sometimes I do that. Take something and splatter it on the wall just to see what sticksQuote:

i am never getting drunk off just beer again. it fucking always ends up terribly for me. without fucking fail.
wuf's use of the tactic, not your use of the phrase.

Make mine a Samuel Adams.
i'll have a samuel jackson
I'll have a john travolta.
A Butch Cassidy please.
a quick google didnt detail, what is this? if this is some sort of decent mixed drink, it is now my drink. no longer the white russian...Quote:

I have come 360 as far as beer goes. In high school, we would drink whatever we could get our under-aged hands on. I remember crushing a luke warm 30 rack of Red Dogg with a few friends on more than one occasion. At some point in high school, we started to drink mid-grades.. St Pauli Girl, Heineken, etc. Then I got into micro brews, IPAs etc. The more bitter, the better. I would go to a good liquor store and buy something I had never had before every time I went. But now, I have to be honest, I just want to drink something with bubbles and a bit of alcohol in it. I don't drink Red Dog, so maybe not full circle.. but I often will just order a Coors Light or whatever. *shrug*
My version is a Buchanan's of age. On the rocks.Quote:
