The bible says pi is three. Who are we to question god?

I'm sure someone posted a thread on this a while ago. In any case, it doesn't really assert for a change the value of pi (as a number), only the name.

Don't even need that, just a new symbol (pi with 3 legs), newpi I think they referred to it as, which stands for 2 pi.

True. Which essentially means that, unless they're going to completely change the meaning of pi, we might as well stick to 2pi.

Yea, there really isn't a point, but what's been said does make sense. I don't see the need for change though.

Depends, do you like pi? (rhymes )

 

[hscishard]

Lol. They're not saying pi is wrong.
They believe 2pi is better (from what I've read)
