Pot Luck Coffee and Geometry 02 08 2025
(Disclaimer, this is meant for
entertainment purposes only. Unless a relevant true nre point is
made then it can be attributed to me.)

So I get to the dregs of a small bag of
coffee and I have already bought a new small bag of coffee before I
finish that first bag. And I looked in my freezer and saw about half
a dozen to a dozen bags of nearly empty coffee. And I put them in
that metal bowl. Now because of my artistic license I can say that
that metal bowel is like a cylinder with the following dimensions;
diameter 8.5” and height of coffee in it being 3” and with those
numbers I should get a fairly good idea of the volume of that coffee.
But will it fit into the white jar that has the dimensions in terms
of what I think it can hold in terms of volume as being 5.5”
diameter and 7” high. You see I am accounting for those rounded
bases with a sort of synthesis factor into the analysis. And I think
some of you want to say already, just by looking at those numbers
that of course the coffee will all fit in the white jug. But you
have to realize before I start pouring tha tcoffee in there I want to
make sure it will hold it all because I don't want any overflow mess
to clean up. Not that I care about if I have to throw out a half a
cup of coffee grounds if it overfills it. No, I just don't want to
have to clean up any mess of that. Perhaps that is something that
those who believe themselves to be the greatest chemists in the world
might have a hard time understanding; the mess you made.
******'
So the volume of the metal would be and
the volume of the white plastic would be....if my formula is right.
And I will look it up and others in a moment.
52.9375 cubic inches white plastic
54.1875 cubic inches metal
Now I would express those in formulas
with proper variables right here but there is somebody who is a
billionaire that shouldn't be in terms of software innovation. So I
have to digress to make a point.
******'
You know who shouldn't be a
billionaire? In an office software program I should be able to
seemlessly write an equation into a word processing document and have
it show up like that right there and be highly functioning. That
would indeed spur engineering in the good old USA. That is something
that would truly make America great. In summary the spreadsheet and
the word processor should have been seamlessly integrated by now.
******'
And so per my scientific calculations I
have 1.25 cubic inches excess coffee that will not fit in the
plastic. But it is okay as I will be transferring the coffee over
the sink or garbage can or perhaps my garden.
******'
So you know how to calculate the volume
of a box. That is really easy. It is the area of the base times the
height.
But what about a cylinder? That would
be the area of the circle base times the height. Again fairly easy.
But is that how you remember it being taught?
Now what about a cone? Is there an
easy way to just verbally express what the area or volume of a cone
is? The cone is 1/3 of what it would be if it were a cylinder as per
my calculations depict above. So lets say that a soda can has the
same height as an Ice Cream waffle part. And that the top of the
waffle part of the cone is the same diameter as the diameter of the
soda can. Then it is simple to remember that the cone of those
dimensions has 1/3 the volume of that can. Seems like you got
cheated on ice cream doesn't it.
Then what about a sphere? What is the
volume of a sphere? Have you ever heard, in your entire life,
someone simply express the formula of what the area of a sphere is?
Well here is the formula: V
= (4/3)πr3
But how can that simply be expressed?
How does that make sense? And why? Because the volume area of a
circle is πr^2
So
lets say that is really πrr
that is really that is really then you are taking into the height of
the circle with πr3
as really being πrrr
and then you have to give that a magnifiying power of 4/3 which is
really 1 1/3 magnifiying power. But why? Why that amount? What
makes sense as it being that amount? 1 1/3*pie rrr and in this case
does the order of operations make a difference? I don't have time to
fact check it. But basically you are squaring something that is sort
of constant, so perhaps it doesn't? So lets try and jimmy this a
bit.
My
pie r^2 is the area of a circle. You multiply that by the radius
again and you get half the height of the sphere. Essentially the
radius is half the height of the sphere. So that would be the area
of a cylinder with the height of the cylinder equal to the radius of
the cylinder. Could be verbally thought of as a cylinder area
applied using square box type dimensions. Although not completely
accurate per an argumentative type?
But
what if you plugged into the calculation the diameter of the cylinder
thinking you could calculate the area of a sphere like that? Because
the diameter is the height of the sphere? You would have too much
wouldn't you. You would be off by too much by what you would have to
trim away from a metaphorical block of foam or marble in the shape of
such a cylinder to make it the most voluminous sphere possible.
I
think that perhaps the explanation needs to be figured out by
figuring out what the area of half a sphere is first. Call it a dome
and then adding that together with itself.
But
lets attempt to make sense of that formula for the volume of a sphere
without looking up the answer as to why it is right first. Seeing as
my metal bowl is more like a dome that a cylinder, but we won't need
make mention of that. Because I feel confident in my analysis above.
That
formula isn't cubing the radius, it is multiplying it by three. But
why? What area does that represent. Now first lets run some numbers
as to the difference of a radius squared and a radius mulitplied by
three in the area calculation.
is
the radius of my metal bowl 2.75 is the radius of my plastic jug.
*4.25
Verus 4.25 *3
2.75*2.75
versus 2.75 x 3
4.25x4.25=18.0625
4.25x3=12.75
2.75x2.75=7.5625
2.75x3=8.25
Important
to note that sphere formula is not squared or cubed it is multiply
radius by three. Another way to read that might be 1.5 the diameter.
So the formula is really 1 1/3 x pie x d x 1.5
But
why?
I
think I am going to have to figure out and demonstrate the area of a
dome first? In order to understand this? The only reason I know
this is because I look at picture related to the sphere formula
first. Just to let you know.
UGG,
no no. That formula was not accurately depicted online! Someone
made a mistake!!!!!! Not me! It is the radius cubed!!!!! It is
really this 4/3 x pie x r^3
Okay
back on track. And I am going to line through some of the above so
you don't have to learn it the wrong way the way the internet would
have fooled you up good!! Fooled and flunked by the internet. And
what is AI to me? Another way to squeeze the money out of the
American people when the form of government you always really loved
is called parliament. Where a blusterous idiot can run off at the
mouth with reckless abandon.
*****'
I
got to stop. This is so disturbing that that formula was listed
incorrectly on the internet. Gd flat earther Luddites. They will
have you listening to a clown instead of a teacher because that is
the only thing that makes you happy.
*****'
V
= (4/3)πr^3
So
you cube the radius. A way to think about that is in three
dimensions right? Pie times the radius at the x, y and z dimensions
of the sphere? Sounds like it should somehow get you into range
right? But what if it were a square? And you took half the side of
a square/box and cubed it? And then compared that to what you get
from the true formula?
To
take things out of context here. If pie r^2 is the area of a circle.
Then what is pie x r^3 the area of? It is not the area of a sphere
with that radius. It is the area of a smaller sphere of that radius,
hence the multiplication factor of 1 1/3 is needed?
What
I am getting at is why isn't there a simpler formula? There has to
be a simpler constant based formula?
But
let's run the numbers on it. Using the height of my metal bowl as
the radius and not the diameter.
The
height of my metal bowl is 3” So the area of a sphere with that as
the radius would be: 1 1 1/3 x pie x 9=
But
pie x r^3 is the area of what? Pie x 9=
I
don't like those numbers. Lets use something a little more far out.
We will use arbitraily use 5.5.
1
1/3 x pie x 166.375=
versus
pie
x 30.25=
With
diameter applied
Wait
a minute lets forget about pie altogether. What is the relationship
between the vlume of a cube to the volume of a sphere. Is it a
constant? I think it has to be. I would have to run the numbers.
But if you were to figure that out. You could likely simplify the
equation? But could it be simplified with more accuracy? Very
interesting point.
*****'
The
good versus the criminal bad. The good like what you know the
criminal minded absolutely hate it when you know what you know! And
it has profound implications for our education system and the
greatness of our democracy. Remember it. It is really easy to spot.
The bad hate it when you know what you know and that you know what
you know!
******'
So
lets run the numbers Square versus Sphere volume and see what the
constant is.
Arbitrarily
using diameter as 5.5 and side of square as 5.5
Square
volume equals 5.5^3=166.375
Sphere
volume equals 1 1/3 x pie x (.5x5.5)^3=87.0973125
So
the constant would be (if it can be a constant)
87.0973125/166.375=.5235
Expressed
as the area of a sphere is equal to .5235 the area of a square with
the diameter of the sphere being equal to that of the side of a
square. So it has a lot of implications with regard to missing
matter in space or dark matter? You don't quite loose half your
volume. But then what is the relationship of what the missing or
clipped volume of the square to get to the volume of the sphere is?
Follow
me on this one? That missing volume equates to the diameter of what
sized sphere in terms of the sphere in question? How much of a
sphere is made up by the missing volume of a square to a sphere? And
what is the constant of such a comparison of spheres?
Do
you see why a spreadsheet needs to be seamlessly incorporated into a
word writing text type document?'
Vol
sphere one minus vol sphere two divided by vol sphere one is the
constant I am looking at.
(VS1-VS2)/VS1=
equals such constant if there is such a constant.
(166.375-
87.0973125)/166.375= .4765
But
what about real world math of it. Our planet isn't a perfect sphere
is it. Are all celestial
bodies
that same way, essentially oblate spheroids? What about the sun?
The sun has to be a sphere or is it?
What
am I getting at? The math of God? Is the math of God such that the
area of an oblate spheroid inside a box of its sides is more 50/50
than the fraction above? More equal?
So
gravitational forces distort a sphere to be an oblate spheroid. And
gravitational forces are determined by mass composition? Or
Substance? Does a heavier substance equate to more of or less of a
sphere or oblate spheroid as it is? Is it just the property of mass
of the atomic composition or can it be thought of as other terms of
composition of mass such as malleability and tensile strength that
also could play a role into the distortion of sphere to oblate
spheroid? And does it have relevance in astrophysics?
Somebody
already figured this out already just like the posted the wrong
formula for the volume of a sphere?
*****'
Note,
needed “Equation recognition in a word or text writing document.”
“Oh
but we would need more computing power.” And there is another
problem. We are not really getting more computer power for our
dollars versus 5 years ago? Where is that power sucked up into?
Virus detection? Do we really have better file management software
on operating systems today? No. Do we have better search engines on
web browsers no, they are worse. They have been bought out. What do
we need AI for; everything is already gone. I don't need AI to
figure that out for me. I don't need AI to figure out what is wrong
with our country either, I already know.
*****'
I
got to stop. I can't error check this or continue with it. That
spoiled horses head voice is having a fit. Ever hear the threat by
organized crime? “You are going to get a horses head in your bed?”
It really is a metaphor that they are going to give you
schizophrenia with a retard mysteriously insulting you.

got the formula wrong?
the
volume of a sphere - Search
Whose new math is that? Per my education it isn't written at r3 it is written as r^3
Look, see for yourself, it is wrong!
You it is a real shame that my article was sidetracked by this.
