How many sides does a circle has.

I just hit upon this interesting question!
I think I am not good enough to answer this. May be our genius friends here can help 馃槀

That's a question for a psychologist ;)

@ozgirl512 馃槀 That's nicely said. Or whether the people who attempt this question may ultimately need a psychologist? My brain started paining after attempting this one :)

@Mohana I think such questions are useful in exploring how people think rather than deciding the properties of a circle ... One of my favorites is an old zen loan... What is the sound of one hand clapping? ... That can open up many an internal can of worms lol

@ozgirl512 That's an interesting question as well :) Thank you.
Yes you are right. These questions challenges our mind a lot. It's easy to term these questions as ambiguous, however every ambiguity has a solution if we explore :)

@Mohana I don't know if I quite agree with your last statement...I just don't know if there always is a concrete answer... But as a way of expanding and understanding your thinking, spot on! ;)

@ozgirl512 Yes, I understand. At this point of time we can't figure out an exact answer. But many phenomenon that we know today we're in the same position few years back. We never know. And I believe that this world expands with our imagination :)

@Mohana all true...I guess I was thinking more along the lines of philosophical questions that may not have answers, only more questions
Mohana46-50, F
@ozgirl512 That's a nice approach as well. After all we can allign everything in philosophical lines. That's the beauty in itself as well. We keep solving questions after questions however it opens up many other questions. Putting in mathematical terms we are good enough to solve for a n sided polygon but not yet good enough to solve the same for a circle. Good thing is that every questions taught us something new and our exploration continues...
ozgirl51226-30, F
@Mohana true that... And as I briefly mentioned in an earlier comment, we haven't even touched on the really interesting questions yet, such as tesseracts lol
Mohana46-50, F
@ozgirl512 Absolutely! Yes, I had spotted that comment of yours and was about to reply but lost track as I kept replying to other messages :) Thats an interesting point.
Who knows our coming generations will be easily visualizing with 4-5 dimensional spaces.. and will be breaking their head to visualize higher order dimensions 馃槀

@Mohana mine is still spinning from the concept lol.... And I wonder if it can be understood in the usual manner of relating it to what we know... Way above my head! 馃
Mohana46-50, F
@ozgirl512 Its way above my head too 馃槀 . However let's be optimistic. If some of the genius minds here can create a spark, we may realize it's not too high :)
ozgirl51226-30, F
@Mohana many sparks are created here lol
Mohana46-50, F
@ozgirl512 Yes, indeed ! Too many sparks are generated and they are quite lasting too 馃槀
