You Know Who’s Born on Pi Day? Einstein.

By Alex in Science & Tech on Mar 14, 2009 at 12:54 pm

Like Miss Cellania posted earlier, today is Pi Day. But did you know that someone really famous was also born on this day? It’s only fitting that today is also the birthday of Albert Einstein (born March 14, 1879).

    I’ve read that Einstein was smart, but he was a real weirdo too. True of all genuises to a degree maybe; I too bear that cross (ha!).

    What am I missing that it’s fitting that Einstein was born on Pi Day? I’m a little lacking in both math and physics… but I don’t see how they’re interconnected.

    Math and physics are very interconnected, but it would take someone more eloquent than I to explain it in a nutshell.

    I know math and physics are very interconnected. I just don’t get what the ratio of the radius to the circumference of the circle has to do with relativity. Then again, I don’t know any of the math behind it or even many aspects of the theory. But thanks, Miss C. :]

    TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY ALSO!! w00t yey…..

    @Cori: Pi appears in Einstein’s general theory of relativity.

    Happy birthday all you fellow Pi-day-ers!

    Pi is a mathematically provable fact.

    But if you are in Europe isn’t it 14/03/2009?

    Oh, mathematics is the primary language in explaining physical phenomenon, so I agree with the above comment that mathematics and physics are interconnected of each others.

    Oh, if assume now Mr.Albert Einstein is life, surely he will be happy when looking the newest Pi exact Formula that has been posted at http://eqworld.ipmnet.ru/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=148. Why? I think only Mr.Rohedi that can explain it.

    Of course @nina, even mr.Einstein would be glad after reading Rohedi’s Pi(PHI) formula posted at http://eqworld.ipmnet.ru/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=157. Nadya has visited to the link, really Pi(PHI) is the Nice Formula.

    @Nadya Fermega and @Nina, refer to Einstein’s relativity m=m0/sqrt(1-(v/c)^2), so when mr.Einstein was tasked to create the number Pi, Denaya believes he used Pi Formula that corresponds to one of form his relativity theory that is Pi=2*integral of dy/sqrt(1-y^2) with the lower and upper limits of integral 0 and 1. In other word mr.Einstein would create number Pi using single arcsine function that is Pi=2*arsin(1), meanwhile shown at the above links, the Newest Pi Exact Formula from Rohedi is in the form of sum two arcsine functions. Again, according to Rohedi’s Pi Formula, the lower of integral limit a=0 corresponds to the zero length one of side a right angle of triangle, therefore the Einstein’s Pi formula is slowly to converg.

    Okay @Nina, Nadya Fermega and all, please click this link: http://eqworld.ipmnet.ru/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=26515. Maybe smart formula for finding circumference and area of a circle from daddy Rohedi will be usuful for you.

    Hi All, recently when visiting to eqworld.ipmnet.ru the post link of Rohedi’s pi exact formula always displays “no input file specified. So Denaya Lesa thinks to invite you visit directly to http://rohedi.com. My father Mr.Rohedi and me repost the number pi formula and its related topic at the leave comment of all articles. For example why pi is irrational number can be found at leave comment of smart solver ODE at http://rohedi.com/content/view/25/26/. While the number pi formula can be found at leave comment’s article of Bernoulli integral on http://rohedi.com/content/view/34/1/. Thanks for your attention.

    Denaya, you know there are two famous rational numbers for Pi approximation, i.e 22/7 from Archimedes and 355/113 from chinese. My question, what rational number for Pi approximation according to your father Mr.Rohedi.

    @Lukman, I ever read Rohedi’s pi number 6112640680/1945713959 at leave comment mathblog but I forgot the name of blog. He called his Pi approximation as “Pi Bumi Pertiwi Indonesia” because the number 1945 at denominator coincedentally with the year of his nation independency Indonesia.
