It's impossible to calculate the circumference of a circle from the diameter exactly.
22:29

Just as it's impossible to exactly calculate the circumference of an ellipse.
22:31
<

huh? if it's a circle then the circumference is just diameter * pi
22:32
<
darsie >
Right. And each ellipse has its own major axis to circumference constant.
22:32
<
SporkWitch >
and a quick google search tells me that to calculate the circumference of an elipse it's 2pi*sqrt((a^2+b^2)/2)
22:33

where a is the semi-major axis and b is the semi-minor axis

i concede i did have to google it for the elipse, but it was the first hit; mind it's not a perfect formula, but it is listed as a good approximation (which we're already doing good approximations anyway since we're working with patched conics in KSP)

it just sounded wrong on its face that you couldn't calculate circumference from the radius, especially for a circle

Well, calculate the circumference of a circle with diameter 1.

You can only approximate it.

at a certain degree of precision it's a distinction without a difference. Calculate pi out further and you'll get infinitely closer. Arguably once you hit the planck length there is no distinction.
22:38
<

Yeah, you can get as close to the true value as your computer has memory.

i'm saying that at a certain point it's a meaningless difference and one can reasonably call it the true value

i'm rusty so i'm brainfarting on how to represent it in proper scientific notation (i'm used to going up, not down), but there's no meaningful difference between 0.99 repeating and 1.0 in any practical application. That's all i'm saying. To say it's impossible to caclculate is splitting hairs on a mathematical technicality when for all intents and purposes, you've got the real value
22:42

it's like 1/3; you can't represent 1/3 as a float, but in reality you can take 1/3 of something.
