It's only fitting that Stephen Hawking decided to leave on 3.14..  :smiley:

What�s the point of computing pi out that far? There is none. If we knew the diameter of the universe, the first 30 digits of pi would theoretically enable us to calculate its circumference to within a millimeter. That�s closer than we would ever need to come; the rest is just showing off.

If we know the circumference to within a millimeter based on the first 30 digits of pi, then doesn't that imply we already know the diameter?

Yes, but if you know the circumference to within a millimetre, you must know the diameter to within circumference/Pi
If the tolerance of circumference is x, then the tolerance in the diameter is x/3.1416......

Don't start reading the Wikipedia article on pi. It seems like it never ends.

Did you know the ratio of the length of the channel of a meandering river, compared to the straight-line length from its head to its mouth, tends to the value of pi in idealized conditions? Me either.
