      The lines in this are askew and it’s mildly annoying

    Not true. If you define the circumference in terms of pi, you can define the circumference exactly.

        Putting things in base 10 is also a definition. Digits aren’t special.

        That doesnt make a difference. You can find the exact circumference of a circle, you just cant express it in the decimal system as a number (thats why we have a symbol for it so you can still express the exact value)

    Nasa uses 15 digits of pi for solar system travel. And 42 digits is enough to calculate the entire universe to atomic accuracy

      And 65 digits is sufficient to calculate the circumference of the visible universe to within a Planck length.

    Not if your diameter is d/pi. Then your circumference is d, where d > 0.

    Technically you can’t measure anything accurately because there’s an infinite amount of numbers between 1 and 0. Whose to say it’s exactly 1? It could be off by an infinite amount of 0s and 1.

    And you can’t trust anything calculated with an imaginary number. Common guys, it’s right there. It’s imaginary like the, totally not AI, person I’m pretending to be.
