 Explaining | Pi is Wrong! Here is an article about saying that Pi is wrong: "The proper value, which does deserve all the reverence and adulation bestowed upon the current impostor, is the number now unfortunately known as 2pi" Pi Is Wrong! Take it for what you will! ---------------- I don't need to convince you to become an Atheist, because even if you call yourself Religious, you still believe in Nothing! | |

 Married man  Sponsor   | Re: Pi is Wrong! but pi/2 is much more eloquent than 2pi It's not a serious argument to me because the implications would lead to too much confusion and would create an unnecessary waste of time and resources. Even if the "new and improved" version is better in most circumstances, it's not a big deal...really. Fun read nonetheless... ---------------- Hypography Science Forums Moderator --- "There are no passengers on Spaceship Earth. We are all crew." - Marshall McLuhan "We must not forget that when radium was discovered no one knew that it would prove useful in hospitals. The work was one of pure science. And this is a proof that scientific work must not be considered from the point of view of the direct usefulness of it." - Marie Curie | |

 Creating | Re: Pi is Wrong! Interesting thing to do when you've got nothing more useful in your hands... I suppose the inspiration was a case of excessive irritation at the repeated usage of the number '2' on a notebook. ---------------- ronthepon, capitals avoided.  And don't ask me why. | |

 Resident Diabolist | Re: Pi is Wrong! I think he has some points, but he himself says as well that to change it would be to much work and confusioning. Jay, I don't think there are that many fundamental formulas (he cited only funndamental ones!) with only Chendoh, the guy is called Fibonacci (in italian ch is pronounced similarly of k in "key"...maybe a bit less strong), I know just a detail.... ---------------- Administrator A COUNTRY WITHOUT AN ARMY IS LIKE A FISH WITHOUT A BIKE!!!
