I just pictured someone at the doctor's office immediately pulling out their phone and instead of saying goodbye to friends or family, they just pull this up on UA-cam, singing along and getting all the digits right until they collapse a few seconds later.

    I don’t know why either... I guess in the infinite universe filled with unknowns and gray areas where right and wrong don’t exist but we cling to the to escape the frightening chaos of life devoid of meaning or purpose, it’s just nice to listen to an inarguably important “number” integral to one of the fundamentals of the universe we can see. No matter what the circle the ratio between the circumference and diameter never changes, and this ratio also shows up when calculating the are of that circle. How is that not amazing?

    The smallest unit of length in physics is 10 to the -35 meters, while the universe is 10 to the 27 meters. That's an order of magnitude of 62. So even if we want to get circumferences through the entire universe to the highest possible physical precision we would not need pi to greater than 62 digits.

      @axthla8435 4 роки тому

      Just so you know, you use *pi* (not pie) to calculate the diameter of a circle. For example, if a lake is roughly 30 meters in its circumference. You divide it with pi, and you get the width of that lake!

      Petter Klingsell he used an example of what he said it’s used for. He said that it is used to calculate diameter of a circle, and then gave an example of how to calculate diameter. Pi has a lot more uses than that.
