Sign the e-petition to support pi

[dimension10]

Here is a petition about supporting pi against tau. So if you think that pi should not be changed, please sign this petition: http://www.change.org/petitions/khan-academy-withdraw-the-support-for-tau. I'm not sure if the petition will help, but...

P.S. If this petitions are not allowed, by all means lock or delete this thread, but please don't give me an infraction!

vi hart makes cool youtube videos. If she's supporting tau, then so am I!

Actually, I have a problem with both so don't really care who wins. Greek letters should represent angles; not constants! pi should be the symbol for longitude of perigee; not 3.14!

If you start using Greek letters for all kinds of things instead of just angles, how will anybody ever know what the heck is going on?!

Secret tip: It's always better to hope banning doesn't occur to mentors than to remind them they have the power! Fortunately, a glitch in the software results in mentors not being able to read posts written in Lemon Chiffon.

Why's there such a large blank space at the bottom of this post? I'm so confused

I had the same question. Is there a glitch?

Hmmm perhaps we should ban everyone just to be sure nothing dodgy is going on...

Oh, that's a good idea! We can never be too careful.

Mentors going off on tangents is always a bad sine.

Try to keep your posts on topic.

Of course, if only angles can be represented by Greek letters, we'll have a problem with constants. I think constants should be represented with letters from the Cyrillic alphabet. I suggest the lower case Cyrillic 'P' for pi (i.e. - 3.14159...)

Aaarrrrgggghhhhh...

If they substitute tau for pi then ... ... ... mentors should ban lemon chiffon tau. Sorry. I tried to stay on topic as you suggested, but it was too hard.

Tau or pi, no big deal, I couldn't care less. If something's got to go, let it be "ksi."

What's that?

Oh, the cascade hyperon!

This reminds me of Indiana Pi Bill. Don't you think voting scientific truths is a form of the equivocation fallacy? I mean, sure, legal laws get to be voted into effect, but legal laws are not the same as scientific laws conveying some scientific truth.

Besides, that website is asking for WAAAAAYYY too much personal information for my taste.

EDIT:

e-petition to support \pi ... hehehehe

I'm not sure whether you are irrational or analytic.

That's like using sand to start a fire.
