    Because a circle has infinite sides.

    Maybe because, as Plato observed, the perfect, or "form" circle doesn't exist except as a metaphysical ideal, beyond the material world.

    Nothing in the universe quite fits anyway.

    I must confess when I read this I thought that you’d made it up and it didn’t make any sense

    But then when I read Archer’s reply as well I got it

    Good team work I’d say because without your reply I’d have thought he was just being philosophical

    I learnt something today :emoticon-0126-nerd:

    Our number system is sometimes inadequate to express the infinite wonder of the universe.

    That’s not philosophical by the way, but fact.

    Speaking of the infinite, I feel like the thread title really overstates the case. We may have KWP for several years. Maybe even a decade. But permanently? I'm not sure that is a sound decision. Forever is a long time and it extends well past him prime years.

    The boundaries between philosophy, geometry, algebra, astronomy or any other field of study are illusory anyway, and wouldn't have been recognised by the Greeks (and others) who pioneered them <ok>

    I think maths is actually remarkably adequate at describing the universe. What’s inadequate is the average humans ability to understand it.

    CMFGs practical use of Wavefunctions to always be in the right place at the right time was undeniable, but ask him to explain it in an equation and he’d be lost

    As for Matty’s use of trajectory equations of projectile motion, sublime on the pitch, clueless in the classroom

    Always regretted my lack of maths skills as I am interested in the Universe and the attempt by physics to understand it. There's a beauty there beyond comprehension. Saw a programme where a physicist was so excited by her subject....she finished by saying that she was sad that not everyone had the mathematical ability to enjoy it. That's me.
