Happy Pi Day

[Marblehead]

A special day for those who believe in PI.

 

Many people don't believe in PI.

 

Some say Pi are squared.

 

Others say Pi is round.

 

Whatever your beliefs - enjoy the day.

 

[Brian]

I like pi.

[Karl]

PI is a constant.

[Marblehead]

PI is a constant.

Until it is eaten and becomes an aspect of the void.

[Karl]

Until it is eaten and becomes an aspect of the void.

 

You can eat a constant but it remains a constant.

 

Voids can't have aspects.

If I go any further with this it will get silly.  I'll stop here.

It's fun to ruminate using PI as an example of an undefined concept though. Kind of microcosm of what passes for thought these days. Using words and puns is great fun.

[Brian]

Pi is very well defined! It just happens to be both irrational and transcendental.

 

 

And delicious -- especially a nice peach cobbler with a little vanilla ice cream.

I feel as though I am being primed to respond.

Pi has a life of its own

 

[Zhongyongdaoist]

Pi only becomes truly ONEderful when you add e to it. Thus in English pie, but in mathematics Euler's identity:
 



In mathematics it is not quite as easy as English, but the result is amazing as you can find out here:

 

The Most Beautiful Equation

 

What I find really interesting is that two of the most important irrational Constants pi and e can be related in such a way that they yield any integer at all, much less the most ONEderful of them all, and also of course it shows that all of the pi/pie homonym puns are actually a divine revelation.  Funny isn't it?  I think its hilarious myself.

Yeah, sometimes pages are beyond our reach.

Wait a minute.  He is from India and he has a zebra?  Ain't no zebras in India.

[Marblehead]

So let's consider that Pi is a constant.

 

I submit that the only constant is Dao.

 

Therefore, using circular logic. Pi is Dao.

 

When you look at it, it's not sufficient to be seen;
When you listen to it, it's not sufficient to be heard;
Yet when you use it, it can't be used up.

I'm staying on this topic, that slice of socialist PI is raising my blood pressure too high.

You would have to define Dao first, and well, as you know, no one can define to undefinable Dao, so, like schrodinger so cat, it it both is and isn't at the same time. Can we do Schrodingers pi

[Marblehead]

Pi exists but it doesn't exist after it has been eaten.

 

No, that didn't work.

 

Dao is undefined.  Pi is defined.  Therefore Dao is defined.  It is 3.14159 ... ~

Easily defined but impossible to state. I can tell you about pi but I cannot tell it to you.

Your syllogism still isn't working :-)

 

You could try defining PI in terms of Pie. That might be made to work as pies are often roughly circular.

Sometimes I don't work.

 

Pies can be squared too.

 

But I don't know if Dao is squared.

PI squared (pie pi)

[zerostao]

PI squared (pie pi)

i think that is a fra-ority i partied with on campus once

or was it phi pi, i think both actually
