Was it me?
the point of it being fixed is the source of its eternal relevance.



Not in decimal units, which is exactly what you implied when you hollered about a finite value between 3.14 and 3.15.its a fixed quantity.
correct. not in decimal units.Not in decimal units, which is exactly what you implied when you hollered about a finite value between 3.14 and 3.15.
No irrational number has a fixed, finite value in decimal units.
The only conceivable sense it is fixed is if we call them by the symbols we use to represent them, aka Greek letter Pi, or lower case e for Euler's number
You're backtracking.correct. not in decimal units.
but in reality it is a fixed quantity.
its is fixed even in value but not cleanly expressible.You're backtracking.
When you were hollering about Pi having a finite fixed value between 3.14 and 3.15 you were taking about decimal units. Pi can't be represented by numbers, only approximated. You also assumed there were a finite amount of values between 3.14 and 3.15, which is also wrong.
What value and what quantity?its fixed in value and quantity
Pi. around 3.14.What value and what quantity?
That's just an approximation of Pi, and the fact is you cannot give a precise quantity and value of Pi in the conventional way we use those words.Pi. around 3.14.
we cant give the quantity only in decimal units.That's just an approximation of Pi, and the fact is you cannot give a precise quantity and value of Pi in the conventional way we use those words.
No one knows what the precise value of Pi is.we cant give the quantity only in decimal units.
its is fixed. and its precise.
its precise but not expressible.No one knows what the precise value of Pi is.
You can't point to a Greek alphabetic letter and claim it is precise in quantity and value.
The volume of a sphere is (4/3)*π*(r^3) or as you would write it 4*(r^3). Can you see the difference?its around 3 dude. thats more meaningful.
in this case you would not substitute a 3.The volume of a sphere is (4/3)*π*(r^3) or as you would write it 4*(r^3). Can you see the difference?
You cannot make a physical object with a mathematically exact Pi length.its precise but not expressible.
you could definitely make a pi length of rope.
you can. its length is hard to express in decimal is all.You cannot make a physical object with a mathematically exact Pi length.
Every physical tool or measurement has a margin of error, which can be made arbitrarily small but never eliminated.
The abstract concept of Pi is based on idealized perfect Eucldean circles, which do not exist in reality.
No you can't. Even the most precise machine tools, measuring tools, calipers have small margins of error which can never be entirely eliminated.you can!
