Hi /sci/

i hope you all know the famous trollphysics image, where you wanna prove that you can make a circle out of a square. well i asked my math prof what he thinks about it, and he couldn't give me a statisfying answer.

he just said, even if the square had infenitely small edges, he still has edges. those edges times infinity equal 4 in the end.

But when you reach infinitely small edges, you can't just multiply them again....

is that an answer?
PS: pic unrelated and i would be happy about a trollphysics thread.
