Are you proud of yourself? Good.

but when you take the limit of radius going to infinity of a circle, you get a strait line.

this thread is old and stupid... please die

>> No.1853995

But then where is the opposite side of the circle?

But it's only a theory.

>> No.1854005

The interior of a circle with infinite radius is all the space. The interior of a line is empty.

>> No.1854232

Mathematically formualted:
A circle of radius R has curvature 1/R.
The curvature of a straight line is identically 0.
If we let R tend to infinity, the curvature tends to 0.

Then it's not a square.

I have never seen an infinite line. They don't exist. Go ahead, try do draw one. That's what I thought.

instead of wasting time on this why not read about malkovich cycles

you're all missing the substance of the argument.
