RE: No perfect circles in space...

Most of this is probably over my head, but I've always reckoned that perfect circles may well not exist because this would rely on the building blocks of matter being continuous rather than discrete. My understanding is that they are more like discrete ("stable wavelengths" and such).

So an abstract circle is perfect, but it is (maybe) only a rough model of any actual theoretical circle comprised of elements of reality.
