Pi time

Posted on Wednesday 14 March 2007

Do you ever think about how before it’s 3:15 it has to be 3:14 and 15 seconds, and before it can be 3:14:15 it has to be 3:14:15 and 92 milliseconds, and before it can be 3:14:1592 it has to be 3:14:159265358979323846264338327950288419716939937510582097494459230781640628620899862803482534211706798214808651328230664709384460955058223172535940812848111745028410270193… Each number to the left needs to wait for the one to the right to get to 0 before it can change, and pi is infinite. So you’d think this would never happen, but it happens twice a day?
