Strange question I thought about today
    #7805784 - 12/27/07 10:15 PM (16 years, 1 month ago)

this is totally hypothetical and somewhat of a math problem i guess:

if there is a perfect plane made of something solid (glass, plastic, etc.)
and a perfect sphere made of the same shit sitting on top of the plane...
how much of the sphere is touching the plane? since its constantly curving it is almost nothing right?

whoa.... I suppose if it was perfect, there would be such a minimal amount touching, it wouldn't be measurable.

If its a perfect sphere, it would just be a point. which only has one dimension, which means it wouldn't be measurable. Thats just me talking though, so don't take that for anything but my thoughts. But it would have to be measurable...

I really don't know. Thats an excellent question...

Get some one in here that knows a lot about math.

Wouldn't it be only one unit of whatever the substance was? (assuming the plane was 100% horizontal)

I know if you put a perfect circle on a line of 180 degrees, and have it only touch the line once, that point, is just a point. No dimensions that are measurable.

But since you add a third dimension to the problem, I am not sure. If it truly is perfect, I would imagine it would just be a point as well. Nothing measurable. I'll have to ask some one that knows more than I do on the subject.

This is a seriously interesting question. I commend you for coming up with it.

I would assume it would be one molecule from the sphere touching one molecule of the plane.:shrug:

what others said, a point that would hardly register.

that was a really good question though. we need more people like you around here, laughs at spinal tap navy airplane pilot thread.

The atom nearest to the flat plane on the underside of the sphere would be the virtually the only contact, but all objects repel at the atomic level. I would imagine that a grouping of 3 adjacent atoms on both the sphere and the plane would constantly oscillate parallel to each other.

:lol:

ostrich? what made you decide to buy some ostrich jerkey?

I think Gainer is on to something by the way.

But if the sphere was perfect, would the entire molecule be touching, or only part of it?

I think it would just be considered a point, not an actual place of 'touch'

Its not possible. If it was, whatever molecule was touching would break because of the weight. Even if it was touching down to the molecular level, than it wouldn't be a perfect sphere, and neither would the plane as molecules are not perfect spheres because of gravity.

Gravity was never part of the equation. Just a plane and a sphere.

depends on how big the line is and where it goes through the sphere at.

the line doesn't go through the sphere. the sphere is laying on top of a plane.

how is the plane suppose to fly with a sphere on top of it?

To answer the question you must be the sphere
