huh, pi is the square root of acceleration caused by earth's gravity in m/sec^2...

[notfred]

well, pretty damn close.

 

[BennyD]

define "gravity"?

 

[Francodman]

No, its almost the square root of acceleration due to gravity.

Ok, that's more accurate.

That was implied, I thought.

 

[gopunk]

or you could just say "gravitational constant"

i was expecting a deep meaningful explanation or a discussion about this, but all i get is a "well, pretty damn close."

In m/sec^2

 

[Viper GTS]

On earth, expressed in meters/s², etc, etc, etc.

Very, very circumstantial.

why? gravity is a variable force... this just happens be the square of Pi on earth

Ok the acceleration of gravity is 5.005*10^9 in/hr^2 near sea level on Earth. Take the square root of that and you get:

7.08*10^4 (in)^0.5/hr

I assume you want us to ignore the units since pi doesn't have units. That leaves us with 7.08*10^4 is "pretty damn close" to 3.14. I say not.

I guess maybe if we go far, far from the surface of the Earth it will eventually reach 3.14...

If it's not exact, the comparison is meaningless, as there is no relationship.

It was just an observation, not a proposistion for a new scientific theory. I had a formula that had had pi/sqrt(g). It comes out to damn near 1. Was just kinda interesting.

 

[DrPizza]

close, yet far enough apart that we can simply dismiss it as being of no significance.

 

[maziwanka]

indeed, no significance (said in a geeky math voice or prof john frink on the simpsons)
