The Sphere! Mystifying!
Is it just me or is a sphere a truly remarkable thing? I cannot ponder its properties so ill ask a few questions...
Is the curve of a sphere perpetual standard of somesort?? is it's value a standard variable in some higher level math??
Being a guy who needs elementary comparisons, can we equate this curve with a average angle of somesort in euclidian degrees?***
***
the best solution i have come up with here is taking a perimeter of a circle and putting it on top of the perimeter of X-agon(meaning an X sided symmetrical shape) and lining up the linear sides of the X-agon with the circle's perimeter so that each side intersects the circles perimeter twice and also so that the middle length of the X-agon is exactly double the length of each of the 2 outside parts of the side. (sometimes a million words cannot define a picture, but try)The end result from a satisfactory X-agon would be a defined degree, Right?
anyways, am i just crazy or is the sphere an incredibly complex and sophisticated body.
