What is the square root of pi?

I have always wondered if one can get to the edge of the universe and if there is one what would be there.

Back in 2nd grade when learning our solar and that the Universe was all there was I questioned to myself and in my minds eye that there was something beyond the Universe. Fifteen years latter I pictured a soup bowl theory of multiple universes. A year later I happened onto an article in the newspaper that explained how several scientist postulate that there were multiple universes. I was floored because what the article described was so close to what I had pictured. Similar pictures I've had since have showed up latter in scientist hypothesis.

A+ for the only correct answer.

(pi)^1/2 is the correct answer and it's exact!

"I think that, in the final analysis, the answer to this question, like every question at this website, somehow involves the need to eliminate the death tax.

I guess you reached that conclusion since both Pi and the death tax are irrational?

One must wonder how long before the Libertarians here will insist that taking anyone's square root violates the Fourth, Fifth, and Tenth Amendments. Or before someone gets confused over the difference in square roots and quartering and see a Third Amendment violation as well. My personal take on this is that either the CFR or the Illuminati assassinated Kennedy to make sure the "real square root" will never be known.

While we are at it, what is the square root of negative 1?

It doesn't exist as there is no number that can be squared to equal a negative number, however, we can imagine such a number even though it cannot exist on the number line. We can use any reference we choose to designate such an imaginary number, ergo, I use i.

There are practical uses for i in scientific calculations as one can have the i's cancel out and come up with an answer that is a real number.

Since Pi is an infinitesimal number there is no exact square root, just as there is no exact number for Pi.

Infinitesimal? I think the word you were looking for was "transcendental".

[Renatus]

There is no such thing as an infinite number. The fact that it is a number limits it.

[LibKill]

I will take your word for it.

A CAT scan of my poor brain would reveal a hole where most people have their math ability.

[AmishDude]

Actually, "irrational" is enough. Transcendental gives more than just not being expressible as a decimal.

[TankerKC]

Since pi is an infinate number,there is no square root.

Thanks for playing! There will be no parting gifts.

PI is NOT radical...... Conservative, perhaps, but not radical.

It's about making that famous French not so smelly cheese. Made with 3 different raw cow milk and dried to a certain age. Not exactly a pie...

[InvisibleChurch]

mmm...yummy!

[Joe Miner]

There is no square root of any negative number.

If you are a mathematician then the square root of -1 is i, if you are an electrical engineer it is j.

It is pretty likely that the universe is just a 4-dimensional "sphere".

I recall reading recently that certain Hubble Telescope observations were putting the squeeze on the sphere and saddle models, and that generally flat space (with gravitational variations around matter) was the way of the future...

And the past.

[fhayek]

There it is, starting at around 118 places past the decimal point: 666. The square root of pi is an evil number.

Fifteen years latter I pictured a soup bowl theory of multiple universes.

Algebraic alphabet soup?

BTW, multiverse theories are commonplace, and go back to at least the Greeks.

There is a Super Target and a Wal*Mart there. Nothing really special, but there is lots of parking.
