Circles don't actually exist and cannot exist, and neither do circumferences, diameters, and radii.

no, they don't exist, but they're very useful.

Why note just use regular 10,000-gons for all places where circles are useful?

nope.
Everything that appears circular is actually a polygon, lrn2chemistry, okay?
As i said before, treating circles as many-sided polygons for the purposes of engineering also mediates a need for circles. Basically, mathematician are buttmad.

You are completely correct. Circles don't exist. They are abstract, however, and therefore can be used in mathematics which is also abstract but can be applied, with some error, to real values.

Is it because it's impossible to find the center? OR is it because you never trully know it's round? or is it because you never know if you're measuring the maximum width?

If the argument is that curves cannot exist in nature, then you have neglected the smooth trajectories traced by mass in a gravitational field. Like the asteroids in orbit around your mom's ass.

circles are abstractions from things roughly circular. hence circles are imaginary friends.

hey OP,
you have fun calculating the exact positions and velocities of the billions of particles in a given system for the rest of your life.

Something tells me you're too much of a fag to even do this for a single particle.
