The existential crisis hits hard when you discover that mathematically perfect circles are just theoretical fantasies! Even the roundest objects in nature have microscopic imperfections. Zoom in far enough on any "circle" and you'll find jagged edges and quantum uncertainty ruining your geometrical dreams. Plato would be crushed! The universe basically looked at Euclidean geometry and said "that's cute, but nope." Even black holes, which seem perfectly circular from afar, have quantum fluctuations at their event horizons. The gap between mathematical ideals and physical reality is enough to make anyone tear up like Thanos realizing his perfect balance is impossible too!
