Why do we even need to find the full digits of pi? Wouldn't it be simpler if we keep it short? I'm going to get mad at mathematicians for making pi more complex instead of accepting that maybe pi is indeed more complex than 3.14! /s
Significant figures are a scam invented by big graphite! They won't tell you this, but there is no reason to go beyond 2 decimal places. That was the norm before wooden pencils, believe it or not! Wake up sheeple, and stop overcomplicating science and wasting lead!
Honestly π = 3.141592. No more. No less.
I'd tell you my opinion on circle constants, but τists are never πous
I kinda like tau, but I prefer to use the angular unit of "turns" instead of degrees and instead of radians.
NASA says JPL only needs 3.141592653589793 for their highest accuracy interplanetary navigation calculations.
