In summary, The conversation centers around the fascination and complexity of a sphere. The participants discuss the mathematical properties of a sphere, including its curve and its value as a standard variable in higher level math. They also discuss the comparison of a sphere's curve to an average angle in Euclidean degrees and the use of a perimeter of a circle to define a degree. The conversation also touches on the efficiency of a sphere as a shape found in nature. Despite some disagreement and humorous comments, the conversation ultimately revolves around the complexity and sophistication of a sphere.

The Sphere! Mystifying!

Is it just me or is a sphere a truly remarkable thing? I cannot ponder its properties so ill ask a few questions...

Is the curve of a sphere perpetual standard of somesort?? is it's value a standard variable in some higher level math??

Being a guy who needs elementary comparisons, can we equate this curve with a average angle of somesort in euclidian degrees?***

***
the best solution i have come up with here is taking a perimeter of a circle and putting it on top of the perimeter of X-agon(meaning an X sided symmetrical shape) and lining up the linear sides of the X-agon with the circle's perimeter so that each side intersects the circles perimeter twice and also so that the middle length of the X-agon is exactly double the length of each of the 2 outside parts of the side. (sometimes a million words cannot define a picture, but try)The end result from a satisfactory X-agon would be a defined degree, Right?

anyways, am i just crazy or is the sphere an incredibly complex and sophisticated body.

I was thinking the same thing the other day, mind you that does not not mean I disagree with the above post :/

although we have concluded that i am crazy, we still haven't verified my attempt to bring an angle to a circle... any thoughts on this?

The angle is 90 degrees to a perpendicular line at a constant length from the center point for a circle and any angle within 360 degrees to a perpendicular line in the z axis and 90 degrees from the y-axis at a constant length from the center point for a sphere.

Another interesting thing about a sphere is that it is nature's most efficient shape.

Had to edit a bit, I forgot the z axis for the sphere.
