Pi

[lightdarkness]

dude, there are trillions of calculated numbers, no repete

[perfect_fat]

There are over 40 instances of 565 in those digits. It just stuck out to me for some reason.

Im sure that there is a supercomputer that's been running since the 70's calculating pi. I think it would be cool if there was something similar to seti where everybody pools their processing power to calculate pi. But trying to find a server big enough to hold it all would be expensive.

Pi has to have an end. I think it is a very significant number somehow in the grand scheme of things.

[Omeganitros]

It can't have an end, it has to do with circles. A true circle has zero flat edges, at any maginification. Any=Inifnite. Thus, Pi is infinite.

...Or something like that.

[perfect_fat]

It pi is infinite, then the universe would have to be infinte. How can something exist if it has no end? The only way that's possible is if the universe has no end.

[Feuergeist]

some people spend their lives trying to find more digits in Pi, so it must have some meaning to some people.

ahahaha no! no one spends their lives calculating pi. They have programs running it, and simultaneously searching for a repeating part. Lol...whole lives...

I know Pi to the exact same length as Lupin and Blue. How weird. It must be the pattern that's easy to memorise.
AND I read the book "life of Pi" :P
AND I saw the movie Pi!

...AND I know the longest word in the english language: Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis!

5 bucks says there is a longer one

Universe is still expanding. It is infinite. You can never exit it. There is no end.

And yea...some japanese guys found pi to the like billionth digit and put it on some site.

[COBOL]

the latest record is 1.24 trillion digits so there

I believe the guy with the Pi avatar. I mean c'mon, it's his avatar.

But read his title, he is the forum asshat

but back to pi, there are several different ways to calculate it, how do we know we are calculating it correctly?

Maybe there is a repete, we just dont know it, and hey, there might be an end.

However, those theroys are most likely false. I belive Pi is an infinite, non repeating number, but i do find it fun that people spend their lives trying to find and end.

Recently, in my school newspaper, for April fools, they reported that one of our jackass teachers found the end of pi, tee hee!

[jewpinthethird]

I dont know if this has anything to do with the number itself, but a perfect circle doesnt have a beginning or end really.

Phi (1.618) is cooler than Pi though.

BUT IT DOESN'T REPEAT! AHH!

Could you explain about Phi a little more

and your quote reminds me of a simpsons episode

"PI IS EXACTLY 3" (it was to get everyones attention at a math conventino)
