    People say there are no perfect circles in nature. But there are. We humans create perfect circles all the time. And we are a part of nature. Why do we always exclude ourselves from "nature"?? If another animal (say a beetle) created a perfect circle from something, we'd say there are perfect circles in nature. But for some reason when humans makes perfect circles (in manufacturing, technology, etc.) it doesn't count.

    • Nevermind. I understand now. Thanks Google.iCanHazQBN
    • there is no such thing as a perfect circle. Theoretical concept.fadein11
    • Manufactured circles are never perfect just as good as they can be based on the processes used. You trolling?fadein11
    • "Nature" has two definitions. It's true that most people think of human activity as outside of nature, but really everything is nature.

    • fadein11, I agree with you. I said "nevermind" up top.iCanHazQBN
    • What I misunderstood by the word "perfect" is are we talking about "perfect" to the human eye and measuring tools?.. or "perfect" on the atomic level?iCanHazQBN
    • My comment is based on the premise that you have an idea of how "perfect" it needs to be.
      ********
    • But I think what's more interesting is that humans consider themselves to be separate from nature.

      x^2 + y^2 = r
