From: Archimedes Plutonium on 30 Jul 2010 01:44 Looks like I invented some new terms here of: (a) ReCalculus to signify the strip-building rather than the decomposition into picket-fences of Calculus. (b) Pseudocircle to signify the name of the object formed from the circle inside a square and which is put together as a 4 pointed star shape. But an interesting question is whether the 2D pseudocircle is related to the circle by the same percentage of area as the 3D pseudosphere formed from the nested inside sphere and the residue of the cube? So for a square of side equal to 2 and the circle inside of radius 1, we have the square as area of 4 and the circle of area 3.14... which means the total residue area of 4-3.14 of 0.86. So the circle takes up 3.14/4 = 79% of the area. For the cube of side 2 would have a volume of 8, and the sphere would have a volume of 4/3 pi r^3 of approx 4.18. So the volume of the sphere is about 52% of the volume of cube leaving the residue which is the pseudosphere to be 48% of the volume of the cube. Now the surface area of the cube is 6 x 4 = 24, and the sphere surface area is 4 pi r^2 which is 12.56 and the surface area of the pseudosphere is also 12.56 for it is just the contours of the sphere surface area. So this leaves us with an interesting question as to how we have more surface area, and obviously surface area is not conserved. And tells us a bit about conservation laws in physics. We have conservation of volume in 3D but lose conservation of surface area in 3D.
