   Name calling time.... . Usually when people lose a debate they start calling
the other person names, like troll or they even go so far as to say everything
at a persons Website is wrong, and that has nothing at all to do with the
debate at this time.

   It's real sad that I must enlighten you people in physics, chemistry, .....
and now math.

  You people even go so far as to say,

4/3 pi r^3 = the volume sphere

 It DOESN"T equal the volume of a sphere. It is approximately equal to the
volume of a sphere. The perfect volume of a sphere can ONLY be approximated.

    It is also divergent and indeterminate at the limits of infinity. Using the
"radius of convergence" method, the finite value of convergence is used, not
the infinite convergence value, for a sphere. Because, you can NEVER reach the
convergence value of an infinite convergence spherical volume even with a
finite radius.
