For the square to be infinite it would have to be bended and wrapped into some kind of sphere or donut, at which point it loses all it's edges and seizes to be a square.

THIS WAS USED BY DR BROWN ON THE DELOREAN

Hey, nice idea. Before studying maths at a high level, people often get the idea that infinity is simply a number that is larger than any other number, but it certainly cannot always be used in such a way. By giving the square infinite sides, it stretches right over the R^2 plane (i.e. pick ANY coordinate e.g. (3005, -184) and this is within the square). This shape does not actually have any sides and so is not a square or a circle.

@KorrntB what if you picked your center point b4 creating it?

[4rvinder]

So any shape with a center and infinite or zero side length can be a circle. That was useful. What a stupid bastard.

LOL THATS A PLANE YOU JUST DREW LOLOLOL

[TheKrazykool809]

i would say you are correct, however, there is another solution...

may i suggest the idea of the infintesimal number... aka zero

[sifterjoe]

you are the laziest non-thinker i've seen.

You do realize, even if it is infinite, a concept only useful for talking about limits, that the corners of the square are further away. The old infinity + 1 concept.

What a failure.

better be careful, i heard the math police blaring their sirens looking for you. if they find such heresy in your apt they will mobius strip search you.

[HughMungoose]

But your square still has corners, which therefore excludes it from being a circle.
