Is there such a thing as centerball?

[randyg]

didn't read every post of this thread but centerball is dead easy to find: place another ball frozen to the first ball, and the point they are touching at is a very true center. This spot is tiny enough to eliminate any need of zooming into it.

P.S. what I just posted might be totally irrelevant but I just ran across the thread title and read only few previous posts like mentioned.

I thought "centerball" was the CORE. Therefore we can aim at centerball with any elevation of our cue stick.

The real referance point in the cue ball is the core. The outside surface is just a contact point. There is only one core and many contact points.

The larger the tip the easier it is to hit center... and everything else around it...lol That why they make fly swatters and atom bombs...

WHY?

I'm talking about Mandelbrot Fractals. If we continually zoom in on the cueball, we will never find the true center.

A cueball is a sphere, not a Mandelbrot set. Methinks you admire Rube Goldberg for the wrong reasons.

There is but you'll never get to it. Because to reach the table, you first have to cross half the distance between your chair and the table. And to get there, you'll have to traverse half of that difference and to get there you'll have to traverse half of that distance and to get there...

Finding the center on the surface of a sphere is like measuring a coastline with smaller and smaller rulers...

Pool... man.... it's like... so cosmic...
