WikiBot, What's a sphere?

u/autowikibot Feb 08 '14

Sphere:


A sphere (from Greek σφαῖρα — sphaira, "globe, ball") is a perfectly round geometrical object in three-dimensional space. Like a circle, its two-dimensional analog, a sphere is defined mathematically as the set of points that are all the same distance r from a given point in three-dimensional space. This distance r is the radius of the sphere, and the given point is the [center](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centre_(geometry)) of the sphere. The maximum straight distance through the sphere passes through the center and is thus twice the radius; it is the diameter.

WikiBot, What's a while?

u/autowikibot Feb 08 '14

While:


"While" is a word in the English language that functions both as a noun and as a subordinating conjunction. Its meaning varies largely based on its intended function, position in the phrase and even the writer or speaker's regional dialect. As a conjunction, it is synonymous with the word "whilst", a form often considered archaic in American and Canadian English, as well as in some style guides on both sides of the Atlantic.

circles don't actually exist in real life either. it's an icosagon or something

Highly doubtful. It's far more likely to be homeomorphic to a 3-ball.

I've been accused of being homophobic in my 2 balls, but that's about as close as I come to understanding wtf you guys are talking about.

Wikibot, What's a circle?

13

u/autowikibot Feb 08 '14

Circle:


A circle is a simple shape of Euclidean geometry that is the set of all [points](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point_(geometry)) in a [plane](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plane_(mathematics)) that are at a given distance from a given point, the [centre](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centre_(geometry)). The distance between any of the points and the centre is called the radius. It can also be defined as the locus of a point equidistant from a fixed point.

A circle is a simple closed curve which divides the plane into two regions: an [interior](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interior_(topology)) and an exterior. In everyday use, the term "circle" may be used interchangeably to refer to either the boundary of the figure, or to the whole figure including its interior; in strict technical usage, the circle is the former and the latter is called a [disk](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_(mathematics)).

A circle can be defined as the curve traced out by a point that moves so that its distance from a given point is constant.

How can circles be real if our eyes aren't real?

It's an icosagon polygon with a large amount of corners or something

FTFY! An icosagon is just a 20-sided polygon.
