A little mathematics joke on PI day (3/14/2024)
What is wrong with you is that you’re not realizing that your niche knowledge is not common knowledge.
It’s not common knowledge that the digits of pi go on forever?
(I think I’m asking this as a rhetorical question but I suppose I have to upgrade it to a genuine question)
It’s common knowledge, yes, but most people don’t care about differentiating between a humongously large number we are not capable of calculating vs an infinite number that can never be calculated even if we have a machine powerful enough to do it, because it’s not relevant to pretty much any day to day life.
