“They found that the limit of the variational solution approaches the model of hydrogen developed by physicist Niels Bohr in the early 20th century, which depicts the orbits of the electron as perfectly circular.”

Yeah - when I hit that line in the article I thought “Well duh - pi is going to get involved.”

Still though - cool article. I think it might be more an article on the link between classical and quantum physics than anything else.

I love math and physics and what they mean and describe and reveal. I just wish I had the brain of a genius to truly understand it. These higher math principals give me fits. Can’t get my brain around them. Calculus was bad enough. Thank goodness there are true geniuses out there who can discover and process the math and physics of the universe. It is fascinating. Just wish I truly deeply understood it.

Ditto. Higher math is all relationships, variables, proportions, feedback loops, even shapes. Very few numbers, and where they exist, they're moving...

Just imagine what will be figured out in eternity. oh, that’s right, all knowledge will cease. New rules! start over. At least I won’t have to worry about getting dementia.

Plenty of research is going on for that newly discovered subatomic particle, the moron. It’s found only in buffoonium.

Here is one use of pi, e (another transcendental number, namely the base of the natural logarithm aka Euler’s number) and i (the square root of -1) that I still find to be incredible: e^(i*pi) = -1

Yeah, contemplating that one... makes you believe in The Force.

Serious question. Since Philip was transported, Jesus also went to the other side of the lake and walked on water, do you think when Jesus reigns, that will be understood and permissible before the new heaven/earth?

Pi, in the beginning, of the TORAH

Bereshis 1 (Genesis) 1 In the beginning ELoHIM created hashomayim (the heavens, Himel) and haaretz (the earth).

ELoHIM, Alef Lamed Hei Yud Mem, Hebrew read right to left

אֱלֹהִים

Gematria of, 1, 30, 5, 10. 40 (no final mem value here)

Drop the 0‘s put the numbers in a circle (so to speak) and you get 31415

Ergo: ELoHIM is infinite!

How about the Brit Chadashah (New Covenant)

Luke 12:27 “Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.”

Turns out a lily has about 100 times more DNA than a human! Arrayed indeed!

And to borrow a phrase from Monty Python...

Well you have to know these things when you're a King you know.

There's lot's more (folding space in Tehillim) but I'm busy trying to hack into dark energy. Moses did! Anthony Quinn, Lawrence of Arabia

From the movie Pi Faith in Chaos

Pi (Math is everywhere)

The Torah is a long string of numbers...
