How can pi be an infinite number when it's man made?

I hate math........

Because a circle is just a line and can be of an infinite size, therefore the number to calculate aspects of the infinite circle must too be infinite.

Yea tell me about it, my mind boggles even at very basic stuff, calculating change .. anyone?

I took accounting classes in college, only then I FELT overheat, I sympathize more with CPUs ever since

It can be infinite if one keeps going over it time and time again, but if we calculate the distance between the first and last point then it is definitely finite

Assuming the first and last point stop at the same location.

If we take a 10" line and bend it around in circle shape, it will still be a 10" long line

This thread is making me laugh...

Until you factor Newton's law of universal gravitation into the equation and then the distance of which the line extends can change in either direction. Gravity is a bitch.

A piece of string is infinite in length due to the consistant-micro-fluctuations. So what you thaught was a 32cm string is an infinite string. Maths makes no sense.

Well yeeeeeaaaah....if you're willing to abuse the concept of 'length' until it's completely meaningless.

I'm kind of ambivalent about pop-science programmes that take this gee-whizz-haven't-I-just-blown-your-mind approach. I mean, it's cool if they're getting people interested in science, but I'm not sure how much value there is in applying very abstract concepts in a literal-minded way to such a mundane idea as the length of a piece of string.

It's like people who insist that when you walk from one end of the room to another, every particle in your body actually travels by every possible path in the universe! Uh, no it doesn't. It's just that one particular formulation of the mathematics that describes the way particles move from A to B includes this as an assumption. That's not the same as it being literally true.

Abusing the concept of length is assuming that something cannot be an infinite length.

Abusing the concept of length is...

...meat and drink to anyone who posts on a penis enlargement forum.

As in Magnum Extra-Large quantoms?

Never mind, I'm going to bed.

When people calculate my change manually back to me, I never understood it then and I still don't. "And 5, 10, 15 makes 20"...........and I'm always like "huh???"

Nonsense. It's 1+1=3, not window.

1 man, 1 woman. They have sex. Wait 9 months and you have a baby. That's 3 humans. Therefore 1+1=3. If the woman gave birth to a window, you'd have 2 humans and 1 window, so technically it could be 1+1=4 thanks to that handy little thing used in physics called Laws of Reflection.

Ah, i learned this in grade school as well. But, you forgot about the twin:sextuplet ratio. 1+1={less than, equal to, or greater than 3,4,5,6}.

Don't understand it as in why they do it, or is math that boring for you? lol

 

[Thrill Drill]

haha you're fucked. and Dem lets be honest1+1= window.

I aced math in my senior year high school. Will I still do bad?

BTW, I'm taking calculus.
