@JKaiserable In principle, you have to assume that a theory can be disproven. The scientific terminology is 'falsification'. Not only that, but if theory is unfalsifiable it will be considered unscientific.

The only 100% indisputable facts are a-priori facts. ie. There is no such thing as a square circle. Outside of that we can accept theories with varying degrees of certainty, depndant on supporting evidence.

@cheezydoodlez

I like this one, is it yours

[swordysvg]

I wanna see who knows what colors really are I'm 12 and if I know it then everyone else should so pm me

A wise man knows WHEN he is a fool, a genius will learn from it and try to better himself. That in my opinion defines a genius. It is really hard for people nowadays to actually accept new information especially if it contradicts what they now believe as truth. As you look into history, everybody who contradicted certain believes at the time were prosecuted and now admired.

@seamless13 p.s. I think you mean it concaves at the points and convexes along the vertex. Lesser dimensional geometry is just planar sections of higher dimensional geometry which reciprocally is a planar section of higher dimensions until the nth dimension, to which end a circle with 4 points at right angles to each other can be argued to be a particular cut of a polydimensional shape with infinite equidistant points represented in a more calculable form :P

[azurewolf]

@seamless13 represent me accuratly a polydimensional circle of dimension n where n > 3 in a 2 dimensional diagram :P and a circle having infinate equidistant points only applies for 2 and 3 dimensional math. watch out for that.

[seamless13]

@azurewolf Ok so draw the square circle on a piece of paper.With the right angles pronounces on the "circle" suddenly not all points are of equal distance from the center because it then concaves and expands through the pronounced points.That said a square circle or a circular square cannot exist as by definition accepted by all parties regardless of belief or value.Your arguement fails.

[azurewolf]

aaaalso who's to say that there isn't 4 equal points at right angles to each other within the perimiter of the circle?
