Did u know that?? I didn't. Last night while talking gibberish with a friend, I stumbled upon this fact and the conversation turned out quite..... lemme say.... confusing.
Me: Get the point?
He: A Point is pointless....
Me: WHAT?
He: Arre, A point has no dimensions (ref the defn above..) so, it can not possibly contain another point. Thus, a point is pointless!!
Me: But the very fact that the point exists is proof that there IS a point.
He: True but I am not denying that fact anyway.....it does exist but it IS still pointless!!!
Me: Yup, but it still contains itself doesn't it?? So, it ain't pointless.
He: You can say that for some thing that has a dimension!! Since a point Has no dimension so it CAN NOT contain itself.......
Me: Waddaya mean?
He: A point has zero thickness. And something that has zero thickness does not exist. Hain na?
Me: Haan. But if it has no thickness, then what do we mark on paper while at geometry?
He: That is not an ideal point. A true point is pointless.
Me: And so is this conversation....
It wasn't actually. The way we were at it, i was having tons of fun. As far he is concerned, he just endures the conversations everytime.
