sure you can, as far as visual representations go you can get as accurate as the representation technology will allow and the math can be (if you had a computer that can handle it) approximated (if your using java) to 2 billion decimal places

e. we're not talking millions of polygons but billions of billions

heres an interview with a billionaire mathematician who came up with a theory used by the NSA/similar agencies in the 70s and later by physicists incorporating lattices around shapes



interesting talk

You don't seem to understand how floating point precision works. You cannot have 2 billion decimal places in Java. A 32 bit float in java uses 1 bit for the sign and 23 bits for the mantissa and 8 bits for the exponent. A 64 bit double uses 1 bit for the sign a 52 bit mantissa and an 11 bit exponent. I would recommend you read up on the math and implementation behind floating point precision in computing to avoid making statements like that in the future.

and they're also made out of pixels so any line that isn't PERFECTLY horizontal or PERFECTLY vertical is going to be like a zig zag (stairs)
