How many sides has a circle got? Now thats a difficult question.
Question
TBC Posted Apr 6, 2004
a circle has infinite sides... or at least a perfect circle would have infinite sides. However, a perfect circle has never been drawn...

Wrong. It ddoes not have to be a perfect circle to have infinate sides.
Question
TBC Posted Apr 7, 2004

Cunning comeback

Look at it this way. Every single molecule of carbon has to have a infintesimal change in drection. Therefore, the lengths between the moleculescan be counted as sides. However, because there are no 'definative' corners, and therefore, no ending point, so the counting of these sides can go on forever of into infinity, no matter whether the circle is perfect or not.

A circle it's one side that goes on forever... 'Ouroborus'
It has to have at least one size to be matter. Otherwise it's nothing.
Question
Commander Xerxes Thamian Meridian Posted Jun 10, 2004
But what if it is antimatter? Thats not nothing.
(this is completely off-topic but there you go)

Okay I mean matter as something.... although I have argued that nothing is something.... 
Question
Commander Xerxes Thamian Meridian Posted Jun 12, 2004
Well nothing is something because if it wasn't something, we wouldn't know its there.
