fatty_ashy Posted October 20, 2003 Report Share Posted October 20, 2003 Hi ppl...I was wondering if anyone can explain to me the logic behind cubing a circle (or a square, doesn't matter). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatty_ashy Posted October 22, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2003 Hi...apparently no one has replied to my question. Maybe I wasn't specific in my question.In other topics in hypography, the cubing of circles to make spheres or the cubing of squares to making a cube. (shape, not ^3) Can anyone explain to me the mathematics behind it? -hints Deamonstar and Tormod- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wholloway Posted October 23, 2003 Report Share Posted October 23, 2003 I challenged this subject a couple of months ago. I never recieved a satisfactory answer. Cubing a square does not create a cube. Same with a circle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tormod Posted October 23, 2003 Report Share Posted October 23, 2003 hey fatty, sorry for not helping out, I'm just too thick right now (no that is not my usual slowness, I have a cold ) Cubing the circle is out of my league...I simply do not know what it is all about. Hope someone else can help us out. Tormod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deamonstar Posted October 25, 2003 Report Share Posted October 25, 2003 I am not very good with math. however, it is my understanding that "cubing a circle" is an expression used to describe a CHANGE of STATE to a geometric pattern. whether that change is in 'linear motion', 'temporal motion' or area or volume or circumfrence. it all depends on the context of the usage of the term. somewhat similar to the various usages of different signs of division problems.

thurst0n Posted November 6, 2003 Report Share Posted November 6, 2003 I do not know the answer, but I know that 1 of 3 people in my family would, My moms Cousin George is a physicsit my As are my grandpa and another one of my moms cousins is in mathematics they would know, i'm sure, George who i Spoke of 2 seconds ago, used to do things along the lines of transforming a donut, into a cofee cup, and things like this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thurst0n Posted November 6, 2003 Report Share Posted November 6, 2003 And the Cousin whose name i Did not give, Won the Lasker Award? Is that what it's called? It's the one equivilant to nobel prize but for math... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thurst0n Posted November 6, 2003 Report Share Posted November 6, 2003 my POINT was, I'm emailing them right now about the 5th dimension, i gave them this site, it's possible that they'll join it, i'm sure they'll look at it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dent Posted November 8, 2003 Report Share Posted November 8, 2003 I wonder if can get some help the mathematical proof of cutting one sphere into 5 and creating two seperate spheres. does any body have any mathematics or links they can share please. I think it was documented first in fundamenta mathimatica 6 in 1924...... by Banach and Tarski. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tormod Posted November 9, 2003 Report Share Posted November 9, 2003 @dent, I'm lost..."cut one sphere into five and make two separate spheres"...say again? Do you mean to say there is a way to cut a sphere into 5 pieces and then reassemble these pieces into 2 spheres? Tormod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dent Posted November 10, 2003 Report Share Posted November 10, 2003 So i hear Tormod but im unaible to find the relative litareture ...... A facinating concept i agree.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiNPiN Posted November 30, 2003 Report Share Posted November 30, 2003 if you cube a square, you will get a 6th dimensional hypercube. mathematically, it can be written like this: (x^2)^3=x^6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
