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.

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!

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.

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)

Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis

I dont know if that's considered english, cuz it's all scientific and such.

The biggest one I know of is.... (deep breath)

Phi = 1.618 and is the nature number. All things in nature relate to this number.

Ex. Messure the length of your arm (shoulder to the tip of your middle finger), then divide the length from your elbow to your finger tips. It should come very close. (Read the DiVinci Code for a better explaination).


And the quote is from the Simpsons (but I might have messed it up), but John Frink is the scientific/nerdy guy.

actually it wasnt even a math convention...it was at an science convention when Lisa showed that bullies picked on nerds becasue of the smell of their sweat...her test subject was named Francien...phi comes out of fibonnaci, which is used so often on nature its unbelievable, which makes it much cooler than pi...but i cant get away from e

1:1.619 is the golden proportion, I thought.

And pi isn't fascinating just because it's never-ending. Every math n00b knows that nonrepeating decimals are very common. Take the square root of any number that's not a perfect square, and you've got one.

e is also a cool number. The function e^x is the only function whose derivative is itself.

derivative of 0 is 0, but I suppose 0 isn't really the best example of a "function".
