    If we’re not calculating something useful, then why are we here and not in the library learing about the universe?

    Better question: What curvature of space is necessary for the apparent value of π to be 5?

      If we’re not calculating something useful, then why are we here and not in the library learing about the universe?

      We’re learning maths, which is arguably the foundation of the universe.

      Better question: What curvature of space is necessary for the apparent value of π to be 5?

      I’m afraid that that is beyond the comprehension of my human existence
