Most film productions, when they're based at a place, they get, like, a 30-mile radius or a 30-minute radius to get out of the town. And once you go past that, your day starts to become shorter, and you have to start paying your drivers more, and everybody just gets paid more, and you have less time to shoot, and everything costs more.

American Director

C. S. Lewis

We are not living in a world where all roads are radii of a circle and where all, if followed long enough, will therefore draw gradually nearer and finally meet at the centre: rather in a world where every road, after a few miles, forks into two, and each of those into two again, and at each fork, you must make a decision.

British Writer

Henry David Thoreau

So thoroughly and sincerely are we compelled to live, reverencing our life, and denying the possibility of change. This is the only way, we say; but there are as many ways as there can be drawn radii from one centre. All change is a miracle to contemplate; but it is a miracle which is taking place every instant.

I had accidentally gotten a laugh on a line in a play I was in during high school. I got hooked, but I had no idea I would ever be able to support myself by acting. I knew no one in the business. I was from the Midwest. No one within a radius of a thousand miles was doing anything like that.

American Actress

Jaquelin T. Robertson

I spent a lot of time on farms when I was growing up, and I've been obsessed with the practical logic of farmyards - the turning radius of tractors, where the chickens and ducks might go. It's not a place where stand-alone aesthetic decisions make a lot of sense.

American Architect

Greg Lynn

Without a computer, every point on a structure has to be calculated with reference to everything else. But by using a PC, I can create complex curves that don't have radii or centers.

Doug Liman

When I'm working on a film, I think about how it will play with a tiny audience of friends whose opinions I respect - basically, a 40-bloc radius from my apartment in Manhattan.

Richard P. Feynman

The universe is very large, and its boundaries are not known very well, but it is still possible to define some kind of a radius to be associated with it.

American Physicist

Sheck Wes

When you live in the projects, everything you need is in a mile radius: a basketball court, an indoor gym, a school, a grocery store, a shopping center.

American Musician

David Berman

If they told me I couldn't leave the radius of six miles from my house, I really wouldn't care. There's nowhere I really want to go.

A radius is essential in geometry for calculating area and circumference of a circle.

Circle Basics

Always double-check the length of a radius, as even a small error changes the circle size significantly.

Measure Twice

Do not confuse radius with diameter; the radius is half the length of the diameter.

Not a Diameter

This 'radius' describes a circular distance from a specific point, like a shop or incident location.

Location Specific

In real life, services or influences mentioned as 'radius' can be affected by barriers or terrain.

Expect Variability

The radius is one of the two long bones in the forearm, not related to circles here.

Forearm Bone

In medical terms, 'radius' refers specifically to anatomy, not areas or distances.

Medical Context

Here, 'radius' metaphorically refers to the extent one can affect or control.

Influence Zone

Used for technology and communication, it indicates coverage or signal range.

 It's actually going to be the largest autonomous system anywhere in the world. To give you a sense of what this looks like, this is one of the first distribution centers. You can see a 75-kilometer service radius around the distribution center, and that allows us to serve hundreds of health facilities and hospitals, all of which are rural, from that single distribution center.

 I take the value for pi and multiply it by the radius squared. I also know how to take the area of a square. I multiply the base by itself. But how can I take the area of a circle and create a square with an equal area? This is a problem often called "squaring a circle" that was first proposed in the ancient world. And like many ideas of the ancient world,

 why it was such an important radius. This is a virtual radius, not reality; the black hole has no size. So why is it so important? It's important because it tells us that any object can become a black hole. That means you, your neighbor, your cellphone, the auditorium can become a black hole
