   But they would still be squares, just wrapped around a curved surface to form   
   a giant circle. No contradiction there.   
      
   A contradiction is when you say that something is and isn't true in the same   
   sense. The "in the same sense" part is crucial; otherwise there is no   
   contradiction.

   Human mathematicians live in a 3D space and they can exactly describe 4D   
   objects and all of their geometrical properties.
