Description: discovered that the world is spherical is total bull. It's not true at all. In fact, everyone who was educated understood that the world was spherical since Aristotle's time. Aristotle had proved it with a simple observation. He noticed that every time you saw the Earth's shadow on the Moon, it was circular,

Charles Louis Alphonse Laveran

In 1880 at the Military Hospital at Constantine, I discovered, on the edges of the pigmented spherical bodies in the blood of a patient suffering from malaria, filiform elements resembling flagellae which were moving very rapidly, displacing the neighbouring red cells.

French Scientist

William Shockley

I was not allowed to take spherical trigonometry because I'd sprained my ankle. Because I'd sprained my ankle, I had an incomplete in gym, phys ed. And the rule was that if you had an incomplete in anything, you were not allowed to take an overload.

American Physicist

Gabriel Luna

While American football is very structured and linear and static - where everyone lines up, and there's a burst, and it happens - soccer is like the cosmos. It's like constellations. It's bodies moving in space. It's a very spherical game.

Floyd Skloot

My cerebral cortex, the gray matter that MIT neuroscientist Steven Pinker likens to 'a large sheet of two-dimensional tissue that has been wadded up to fit inside the spherical skull,' is riddled instead of whole.

American Poet

Terence Tao

Math education has changed over the years. In the 19th century, they taught spherical trigonometry because one of the biggest applications of mathematics was navigating the ocean. This is no longer so relevant.

Australian Mathematician

Andy Serkis

If you're in a motion-capture studio, you have spherical, reflective markers, which are picked up by cameras that emit infrared - it reflects it, and then the cameras pick up the data.

Nick Woodman

GoPro's capture devices and Kolor's software will combine to deliver exciting and highly accessible solutions for capturing, creating, and sharing spherical content.

Karl Pilkington has the roundest head, I think, in the world. It's not technically a deformity, but I've never seen anything quite that spherical.

English Writer

Tom Noddy

Bubbles are round for the same reason that planets are spherical. The universe itself is like bubbles.

American Entertainer

Nicolaus Copernicus

First of all, we must note that the universe is spherical.

Polish Scientist

Though 'spherical' suggests a perfect sphere, objects described as such may not be flawless.

Not Perfectly Round

Describing something as spherical often implies it has volume, not just a circular outline.

Volume Implication

Spherical can mean generally round without being a mathematically precise sphere.

General Likeness

In mathematics, 'spherical' refers to systems using three coordinates: radius, inclination, and azimuth.

Precise Coordinates

Mathematical contexts highlight properties exclusive to spheres, like constant surface curvature.

Unique Properties

Astronomy uses 'spherical' to describe the imagined shell of the sky where celestial bodies appear.

Celestial Sphere

In astronomy and physics, spherical can relate to distortion due to the shape of lenses or mirrors.

 So what is this impossible hyperbolic structure? Before hyperbolic geometry, mathematicians knew about two kinds of Euclidean space, and spherical space. And they have different properties. Mathematicians like to characterize things by being formalist.
