Then I read somewhere that it really doesn’t need to be that precise. So for example, if you were measuring the circumference of the earth using π = 3.14159 vs π = 3.141592653589793 it only changes the circumference by fractions of a millimeter at this scale. I can’t measure a 24 inch piece of wood with that amount of accuracy. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 1 point 2 months ago (1 child) The circumference of the Earth is somewhat subjective at that scale anyway, since it also depends on where you decide the radius stops. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] billwashere@lemmy.world 1 point 2 months ago* Well yeah since we really aren’t a perfect sphere.
