So you can see it from the front, but not the side - it disappears. <BR/><BR/>But wait! This is real physics. If it is gone from the side, it can't suddenly not be gone because of a change in perspective. It's just as gone from the front too. <BR/><BR/>The intersection volume is always zero. <BR/><BR/>So sure it can exist independently - completely independently, and only completely.Alrenoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11119846531341190283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5204863782883637837.post-17129385035359744262008-08-21T14:44:00.000-04:002008-08-21T14:44:00.000-04:00Why can't points exist independently of the proces...Why can't points exist independently of the process of cutting up lines?James Andrixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11623383895993378048noreply@blogger.com
