So, I was brushing my teeth and started thinking about pi and how it is irrational. One thing led to another and I remembered Atom, by Asimov (which I haven't yet finished). Now, assuming pi is irrational, if we have a wheel with a radius of 1/2 (units don't really matter), and unroll it so that it forms a strip, that strip will have a length of pi. Suppose we try to measure that strip; we'll never be completely accurate. Since pi is irrational, we'll be able to keep refining out measurement infinitely. Therefore, every bit of matter is composed of smaller bits.
So, because pi is irrational, matter is infinitely divisible, correct?
