These arguments are assuming that tau would be a total replacement for pi in all situations. Why not just keep using pi in situations where you are doing calculations with torque?
- jacobolus 16y agoThe point of tau (or pi) is to do calculations with angles. One of the main uses of angles in physics is calculations having to do with torque. Basically, using pi for calculations that might involve torque is giving away one of the situations where tau would be most useful.
