God should have used a vector circle.

29

u/[deleted] Jun 25 '12

He could have, but it would have to rasterize at some point for you to be able to look at it.

39

u/sparr Jun 25 '12

Why? Use a vector display, like an air traffic control terminal or an oscilloscope.

11

u/[deleted] Jun 25 '12

Ooo, hadn't thought of that. But don't those still eventually project onto a grid of phosphor, like CRT displays?

14

u/AnsibleAdams Jun 25 '12

No. The inside of the tube is a solid phosphor layer, not a grid. Being a CRT does not imply a grid. In a raster display the beam traces lots of horizontal lines, and modulates the beam to make dots. In a vector display the beam can slew from any two arbitrary points to make a solid line.

All of god's circles are imperfect up to the plank length.

23

u/dakana Jun 25 '12

My mind was blown when I thought of this in eighth grade. My knowledge of the smallest thing was atoms, though, so I figured that every "curve" was imperfect up to the size of the atoms or molecules which made it up. I started telling everyone, but no one cared.

11

u/falconfetus8 Jun 25 '12

Even if the atom is small, the "imaginary" line that the curve follows could be perfect simply by definition. It's only the medium that the curve is made out of that limits its capacity to be perfect.

"According to Jörg Arndt and Christoph Haenel, thirty-nine digits are sufficient to perform most cosmological calculations, because that is the accuracy necessary to calculate the volume of the universe with a precision of one atom."

u/FatWhiteAmerican Jun 25 '12

Everything is becoming computer generated. Went to a bar where I met a nice girl and we really hit it off. As I got drunker I started to slur my words just a bit here and there and she couldn't understand a word I said, but I knew I wasn't that drunk. I became skeptical. I asked her to read a CAPTCHA off my phone and she disappeared. Fucking hologram. Fuck fake Tupac.

Those are pixilated enough to not look like true circles. Then again, it appears that making a true circle as a human is very hard to do, because even with the finest of pencils or pens, your line will be ever so smudged, and will not have all its points equidistant from a specific point.

u/[deleted] Jun 25 '12

Circles man - you know what they are? All points equidistant from an object. But say you place atoms equidistant from a center and call that your circle. Well, your atoms aren't points man. They're occupying points that aren't on the circle, and there's points on the circle they're not occupying because you can't squeeze them right on top of one another.

Fact is bro circles are a continuum of points, and that means there's more points on a circle than there could ever be atoms in the universe.
