david345 Posted May 23, 2015 Posted May 23, 2015 You claim my post had no "definition of point" Please elaborate.
studiot Posted May 23, 2015 Posted May 23, 2015 I don't have the benefit of knowing the history of your question, but a point is a mechanical term whereby the dimensions of the point are negligable compared to the dimensions of the system under consideration. So for instance you would be considered as occupying a point in the surface of the Earth, but the Earth itself would be considered a point in comparison with the Solar System or the Galaxy.

Are you saying a past (2009 ad) you does not exist? This is a simple yes or no question?
