Yep! i seccond that Kore7
thanks! oh mighty fox.
Presumingly here is some food for mathematics
to think through.
Ever heard that song if 6(six) was 9(nine)?
What if pi were three(3).
Seriously, what would be the consequences for measuring?
Now consider omega as (rotation speed).
If indeed taken pi for three(3) then what time is it?
Is it earlier or later then we think?
call me a fruitcake if you like but i have reasons to assume that pi indeed is three(3)
