Reconsidering Pi: Examining the Controversy Surrounding its Accuracy

sure is a circular argument

sure is a circular argument

In a roundabout manner of speaking.

Exactly why I'm going no further without someone to protect my interests.

You tell 'em. They're just out to steal your idea. Don't tell 'em a thing. Euclid knew pi was a fake and look what happened to him! LOL. This is a funny thread.

Agreed. I think he's being a bit irrational about this whole thing.

 

[micromass]

Well, it's a complex topic...

 

[mishrashubham]

Well, it's a complex topic...

one that requires imaginary polygons...

 

[Bohrok]

Well, it's a complex topic...

It's very transcendental; much higher than anyone else is capable of coming to terms with.

No one is going to steal your theorem, because it is wrong. You're trying to claim that you've made a discovery in geometry that no one else has realized during 2000+ years of mathematical thought, using the same simple methods that have been available for those 2000+ years. You're claiming that you've not only got more geometric insight and raw ability than Euclid, Archemedes, Gauss etc. but that despite the simplicity of your proof, no one during the last couple of millennia has been able to think of the same construction and devise the proof.

Exactly.

This thread has gone on for far too long. It is time to put it to rest. Thread locked.
