Cubelogger Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-13906169 It goes to show that there will never be a lack of things / occasions to celebrate. The above (tongue in cheek) article, posits that the mathematical constant 'tau' is more "natural" than pi. Happy Tau Day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cubelogger Posted June 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 Happy Tau day! Now the question is do we eat pi or cake? We can probably get away with having 2pi with a side of Tau Foo haha. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yong_Tau_Foo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
preppy038 Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 I too wondered why C = 2pi*r and not just tau*r. But then, the area of a circle is pi*r^2. I would hate to do a tau/2 * r^2 the rest of my life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apache Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 lol, agreed, albeit i don't know any math so maybe this is a big problem in the math world Tau: Proving that, no matter how little the rest of the world cares, some people will get worked up over anything.
