Remember there’s somebody did accomplished `calculated 31.4 trillion digits of π `with CHUDNOVSKY FORMULA?
Kind of interesting…

    Yeah but who the fuck can read this and go "Hmm aha yes, cool, that formula makes total sense to me now haha interesting"?

    Math scares me

    So is it still irrational or has some pattern been found in the 31.4 trillion digits?

    Why the hard limit? Computation/storage? 🤔

    @Oktokolo don't think there's any pattern in pi, that makes it so interesting

    @myss That sounds pretty irrational to me.

    @Oktokolo Yes, I agree, it's totally irrational since it involves infinity. Define me exactly the angles (both interior and exterior ones) in which polygon stops being a polygon and starts being a circle. Once you do that, you'll have a rational response and some pattern to Pi.

    @myss The answer is 180° - ε or 180° - 1/∞ for the inner angle and 180° + ε or 180° + 1/∞ for the outer angle. ε is the positive infinitesimal, ∞ is positive infinity.

    But in the real world, there is no such thing as a perfect circle - or any other perfect geometric shape. The real world is quantized, so you are bound to have (pretty darn fuzzy, but still) corners.
