Why the crop circles are found in the UK and USA only? Why not in India and in China?

My idea on why PI is in the crop circle.

http://www.PiPyramid.com

PI is a needed part of galactic travel.

After completing PI, I found the reason why PI is in a crop circle.

Meh, a bit too human-centric i m o.
Now had the constant been 2*pi, expressed in base 14, THEN I’d be intrigued…

I don’t know, Jamie. Without the alien mystique, the crop circle makers would just be a bunch of vandals. I doubt people would flock to see a crop circle if they knew for sure that it was made by humans. And in this day and age, it’s kind of a waste of food.

I don´t care if it isn´t mind-blogging. I like it.

I’ve never even remotely bought into the ‘crop circles are made by aliens’ thing.

And I wish it would go away, so these could be seen as the grand, large-scale works of art that they are.

The effort and precision that must go into making them, conceptualizing them, and planning them… That, to me, is mind boggling.

I would never have gotten that this is a representation of Pi. My mind doesn’t notice such things, and math and I don’t get along. That said, if it weren’t for the whole ‘aliens!’ controversy, I think these would get more attention for the right reasons!

If we weren’t a base-10 civilization, would we have missed the ‘message’?

How is it “mind-boggling”? They chose to represent PI in some abstract way. Wow.

This crop circle looks remarkably like the cover of the new Pendulum CD “In Silico”.

I suspect rabid fans (they mostly are!) or marketing or both.

It’s still pretty. As are many crop circles.

Pi is already hidden in EVERY circle. It’s the circumference divided by the diameter.

Ok a friend and I have a theory with all of the E.T. stuff happening, all viral marketing for the new X-Files movie. Now I could be off but it’s fun to think about!

Miss Cellania: I agree completely about it not being “mind boggling”. They speak as if the digits of Pi as if they are some esoteric secret beyond the grasp of a lowly prankster. I’ve always thought the circle-artists were math-aware (lots of symmetries and reflections, and the surveying skill that goes into executing the designs).

Wow, crop circles. You’re so damned interesting, England!

SNORE.
