minus-squarejanAkali@lemmy.onelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·6 months agoWho said Pi is infinite? If we take Pi as base unit, it is exactly 1. No fraction, perfectly round. Now everything else requires an infinite precision.
minus-squarelolcatnip@reddthat.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·6 months agoEek, that makes my skin crawl. Taking what you said literally would imply that π² = π.
minus-squareotp@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·6 months agoI’m pretty sure a base-Pi counting system would mean that Pi is π, not 1. You’d count π, 2π, 3π, 4π, and so on. It doesn’t change reality, just the way you count and represent numbers. I might be off, but it’s definitely not π = 1.
