The universe also computes Pi perfectly every time and nobody is surprised or calling side universes for help explaining it.

- galaxyLogic 2y agoUniverse does not calculate the digits of Pi. We do.
- amelius 2y agoI think they mean that Pi is part of many formulas in physics.
- galaxyLogic 2y agoIt's a good questiopn why that is so. But I wouldn't draw from that the conclusion that Universe somehow "calculates Pi", and then puts it in all the forces it "has" so it turns out in our formulas. That is rather fantastical way of thinking and I do see its poetic appeal. A bit like "God doesn't play dice, or does he?" What is calculation anyway we may ask. Isn't it just term-rewriting?
- selfmodruntime 2y ago> It's a good questiopn why that is so Pi is just a description used for calculating perfectly/near-perfect spheres. A sphere is nature's building block, since every point on it's surface is the same distance from the centre.
- sgt101 2y agoI think this shows how bad the definitions for computing are, there's a big rethink needed, but unfortunately it needs a galaxy brain to do it!
