Krayt Dragon88: hey if someone lived on the exact opposite side of the earth from you would you say that is half the world away or the whole world away?
Tea-uh: hmm... good question. i dunno. because it depends on if you're going by circumference or like a straight diameter, right?
Krayt Dragon88: i think it is half the world away cus you travel on the surface not go through the core
Tea-uh: yeah, good point.
Krayt Dragon88: in which case if the exact opposite side of the earth is half a world away then is a whole world away the spot immediatley next to you?
Tea-uh: lol. wow. well... i guess technically so. i never thought about that...
Krayt Dragon88: i mean pretend like you are sitting on my lap, could i say we are a whole world apart and in the same place at the same time?
Tea-uh: LOL. you just want the mental picture of me sitting on your lap. :p
Krayt Dragon88: lol i guess, no seriously its like in precalc when pi is 180 degrees and 2pi is 360 but 0 and 2pi are at the same spot, a whole world away would be the exact spot that you are standing
Tea-uh: mhm. wait, are you doing calc?
Krayt Dragon88: right now? no. we didn't have any homework this weekend.
Tea-uh: oh lol. just asking. i thought maybe homework had triggered the thought.
Krayt Dragon88: no, thats just how my brain works.
:D
Thanks, Kyle. You may not feel like you're helping at all, but you really are.
