That is not the standard definition however: Pi is a real number, and it has nothing to do with geometry. It is always 3.14.. no matter what. If our world is not Euclidean, then there will be some circles of diameter one whose circumference is different from Pi. --AxelBoldt
That is not the standard definition however: Pi is a well defined real number, and it has nothing to do with geometry. It is always 3.14.. no matter what. Mathematical constants don't depend on physical contingencies. If our world is not Euclidean, then there will be some circles of diameter one whose circumference is different from Pi. --AxelBoldt
