The Bible got the value of Pi wrong.

[Ghost In The 'Lac]

That shit is deep. I don't think we as humans will ever fully grasp mathematics. It's like looking at the maker's blueprint. We can see the numbers but we won't know why they're there or how they make the world as we know it.

wordddd

what falcon said. god didn't write the bible. but god did write pi.


a circle is perfection. a number that goes on forever cannot be defined. just like perfection cannot be defined. well actually you can. drawing a perfect circle.

if you graph a circular pattern over time you get a spiral. aka helix. aka dna.

pi and the golden ratio are found everywhere. its almost like a signature. but whose?




the pyramids have many mathematical facts built into their construction.
the mass of the earth
the circumference of the earth
celestial movements
they are like physical textbooks


nice thread.

And supposedly the Greeks discovered Pi.

Yeah right.

The bible was wrong about a lot of things.

bump for Pi day!! (3/14)

We estimate it as 3.14, the bible estimates it as 3.

The problem I think is that we're using the wrong number system. Maybe 10 base is wrong. We should play around until we figure it out. Perhaps if we find the correct one all the ratios will stop repeating on forever because we're dividing things differently. Although this is a half baked idea I just concluded at random.

I quite like 8 base. 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 20...
Seven base: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 11, 12, 13, 20...
Eleven base (which would be great on clocks): 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, X, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 1X, 20...
Twelve base: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, X, ~, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 1X, 1~, 20...

The fun continues.

Very Interesting read.

Really shows how primitive we really are

[Ghost In The 'Lac]

We estimate it as 3.14, the bible estimates it as 3.

lol what

Its not estimated, its calculated, to as accurately as is possible, to infinity. The bible however I guess you could say they "estimated" it, as they got it so wrong.

The problem I think is that we're using the wrong number system. Maybe 10 base is wrong.

lol its got nothing to do with that. that has no bearing on anything. math is math. our metric system is the best their is. it wouldnt make any difference anyway. Pi is always pi.

[TheBoarzHeadBoy]

Yeah I know, but I'm throwing out bad ideas. I even said that in my own post.

No I mean we both round it off. The moderners tend to think 3.14 is close enough to work. Perhaps he ancients thought 3 was good enough. Engineers usually go to the 5th+ decimal. It's person to person. Whoever wrote the bible was lazy. Saying "The bowl was X wide and 3.14X around doesn't sound as good.

[Ghost In The 'Lac]

Oh yeah, I get you.

That might make sense until you go back to the point that the Bible is supposed to be the word of God. Not just some ancient book writers who decided 3 was "good enough"
