The argument saying we don’t need more than N pi decimals because we could compute the radius of the universe down to an hydrogen atom is indeed not very convincing.
This is also unrelated to NASA’s past or present activities
- gnuj3 4y agoBut the question was answered by NASA and how many decimal places THEY need for THEIR highest level calculations. If a HN user requires more, as for example they are planning to travel further than Voyager 1 then you’re absolutely right, it’s not very convincing to narrow it down same as NASA had.
