minus-squareKazuchijouNo@lemy.lollinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up30·23 days agoMy thoughts precisely, they are just assumimg this is just a 2D circle, when in reality it’s more likely to be a 3D sphere. They aren’t accounting for the area of a 3D object, we don’t even know the thickness of the “slices” that are flying.

This is madness!!!
Yes, time is the third dimension.
