The pi is a lie… Happy Half Tau Day!
This joke is starting to get pretty annoying..There are lots of things we do for conventional reasons, such as having electrons exhibit negative charge.If you're doing any actual complicated math or physics, the last thing you care about is having a different constant floating around in your terms.What it is, however, is a great learning tool - This thing called pi, maybe we could get away with, or even be better off calling it 2pi. - Can get lots of people thinking about math and possibly learn something cool like trig. But when used in a psuedo intellectual way, it 'really grinds my gears'.
