Hey /sci/ so I was thinking, I'm a burger high school drop

An ant walking on a cylinder doesn't have infinite can to walk on, it will just repeatedly walk on the same small section of can over and over again.

wtf is that banana juice?

Yeah spacetime actually does have a curvature. You should watch flatland, they do a good job explaining the proper perspective to have on higher dimensions

You are intuitively realizing the nature of a subject called Topology. And yes, there is serious discussion at the highest ranks on the matter if our Universe is like your Dr Pepper can.

That's what I thought. Sounds kinda gross tbqh.

>>9068061
if you're interested in that sort of thing, you might like topology. if you're just sharing thoughts, neat (i guess). if you're going to use this and our feedback as some sort of validation for your intelligence and/or life decisions, myself and others would be happy to nitpick at everything you just said and tell you why it is completely stupid.
i hope you're just genuinely curious, so i can point you down the glorious math route which you'll never return from

It tastes really fruity, that's about all. Unless it is artificially flavored then it is gross.

>>9068096
hehehehe... banana juice... tastes "fruity"... hehe

What stops a 2D shape from being "infinitely finite" then? The ant will be traveling on the edges of a circle if you think about it. I don't understand your notion of "infinitely finite." Your fascination seems more to be with the fact that you can keep moving in a circle without making a "turn," but the radius of the circle is still set. It's not like the 1D line is getting longer.

there were a big discussion by physicists about whether the universe is actually flat or not

don't listen to him, topology is a dead-end branch of math where the best part is a shitty joke about donuts and coffee mugs.

It's banana milk you dopes

>>9068061
this is the basics of topological thinking. if you want a rigorous answer, read the following:
Book of Proof by Richard Hammack
Topology by James Munkres

these kinds of interpretations are core to advanced math. consider studying it.

stop discouraging blossoming undergrads. i need people to major in math so i can keep my job

The right answer, is The Right Answer.

Basically some Japs took "Flatland", pared it with "Childhood's End", and the stupidity was entertainingly synergistic.

Current measurements indicate that space is in fact flat, if one ignores tiny details like stars and galaxies and stuff. We are like 99,5% sure of that.
