you must be thinking of heisenbergs uncertainty principle
"One of the oddest predictions of quantum theory – that a system can't change while you're watching it – has been confirmed in an experiment by Cornell physicists."
ΔxΔp ≥ (ℏ/2)
I'm not a mathmatician
Anyways back to 5 says

"We see things in the world that vary in degrees of goodness, truth, nobility, etc. For example, well-drawn circles are better than poorly drawn ones, healthy animals are better than sick animals. Moreover, some substances are better than others, since living things are better than non-living things, and animals are better than plants, in testimony of which no one would choose to lose their senses for the sake of having the longevity of a tree. But judging something as being "more" or "less" implies some standard against which it is being judged. For example in a room full of people of varying heights, at least one must be tallest. Therefore, there is something which is best and most true, and most a being, etc. Aquinas then adds the premise: what is most in a genus is the cause of all else in that genus. From this he deduces that there exists some most-good being which causes goodness in all else, and this everyone understands to be God."
why are well-drawn circles better than poorly drawn ones
there is no objective "better"
You just said a poorly drawn circle, you admit yourself it's worse
and once again
Unless you imply there is no difference between a perfect and imperfect circle
how did he determine that this is god
like bruh
We judge better and worse
Against what
Implying there must be something absolutely best/good
As a standard
not really
lets go back to circles
we determine whether or not a circle is good by comparing it to our idea of a perfect circle
so we have an idea of a perfect circle
however, there are no perfect circles in nature
so just because we have a concept of ideal or perfection
doesnt mean it exists
Where does this idea of a perfect circle come from?
What standard says a circle can even be perfect
What says the entire concept of perfection even exists
the idea of a perfect circle comes from what we know about circles. We know that circles have no edges, therefore the most circular object possible would have no...shit how do i say it
wait hold that thought
i need to go
we will continue later
Same
if you don't get what im saying, ill try to explain it better later
I might say this is a bastardization of the argument, although this isn't my most well versed argument
I down have time to talk anyways tho
So ponder me calling you all retards for the time being
