Pi comes from the first letter in the Greek word for perimeter or periphery, since pi is the length of the perimeter of a circle with radius one.

I have been waiting for this as it makes any calculation related to a circle much more accurate.

Did Jenny help with the figuring? (Actually, I wonder how many times that 7-digit sequence appears in the whole 62.8 trillion. Must be a lot.)

No, 22/7 itself is an approximation. That is NOT the exact value.

Pi cannot be expressed as any fraction.

Any fraction eventually infinitely repeats or terminates when expressed as a decimal. Pi does neither (the definition of irrational number).

Pi is also never the solution of any equation using a finite amount of terms with rational coefficients (the definition of a transcendental number).

William Jones, FRS (1675 – 1 July 1749[1]) was a Welsh mathematician, most noted for his use of the symbol π (the Greek letter Pi) to represent the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter. He was a close friend of Sir Isaac Newton and Sir Edmund Halley. In November 1711 he became a Fellow of the Royal Society, and was later its vice-president.[2]

The simple message here is the π goes on and on.

There's a concept derived from Micah 7:20 that Jacob lives forever because he was given the truth, and the truth never dies.

A related theme is that 9 represents truth, because any numeral that adds up to 9 is divisible by 9, and all multiples of 9 have the digital root of 9. The Hebrew word for truth (emet) = 441, 9 x 49, 212

Did you know that the use of the letter π for this transcendental number was popularized by Leonard Euler in 1737? Just thought I'd toss that in.

1737 = 441 + 1296 = 212 + 362

Round and round... so how does that work because shouldn't one circle complete eventually? Yet π goes on and on. How is anyone supposed to get anywhere?

Back to Jacob:

When r = 1, C = 2π

"pi" = 91 [פאי] = amen [אמן], a word that it used for the acknowledgement of truth

Jacob = 182 = 2 x 91 = 2 x "pi"

The name "transcendental" comes from the Latin transcendĕre 'to climb over or beyond, surmount'...

There you have it. If you want to get anywhere, give the truth over to Jacob, who was dubbed "Israel" for reasons that are obvious!

Gen 32.29. And he said, Your name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel; for as a prince you have power with God and with men, and have prevailed:

I wouldn't mess with the "two pi" people. Pumpkin *and* apple.

Hey! How did you manage to rope me into this? ....it's not even Pi Day!

But don't you remember? The Beatles wrote a song about it:

The long and winding road
That leads to your door
Will never disappear
I've seen that road before
It always leads me here
Lead me to your door:

π

When issued as a single in May 1970, a month after the Beatles' break-up, it became the group's 20th and last number-one hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the United States.

Released 11 May 1970
Length 3:40
Label Apple

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Long_and_Winding_Road

11 May 1970 = 5 Iyar, the State of Israel declared (22nd birthday, same as number of letters in the alef-beit).
Length: 340 = shem (name), sham (there)

Catch that detail:

3.1415926535 8979323846

The first 20 decimal places add up to 100. Hot! No wonder it leads right to a door. Like the God of Abraham wouldn't know how to code?

As divided into two groups of 10: 41 + 59, as seen in the string. And sooo much more.

Anyway, Full circle with 2 pi so to speak:

Connecting the last word of the Torah (Israel) to the first word (bereshith, in the beginning) and the next letter, the bet in bara (He created) which *is* 2:

541 + 913 + 2 = 1456, "Israel in the beginning is 2", or "Israel in the beginning is a bet", "Israel in the beginning is a house."

1456 = Jacob x 8 = 16 x pi(91) = 4Jacob(2)

It may not look like much right now, but 1456 is actually the plan (recipe) to rebuild Western Civilization. From scratch. Get lost, Sara Lee. Isn't that a Chinese name? See, fake.

Glad I could help! :)

Ferris Bueller's Day Off - Twist & Shout

"Ferris Bueller's Day Off - One man's struggle to take it easy"

The long and winding road..

"Surrender of the Empire of Japan" [כניעת האימפריה היפנית] = 1456

It took place in Tokyo Bay [מפרץ טוקיו] = 541 = Israel

On 12/7 it'll be π (80, the Greek letter value) years since the attack on Pearl Harbor.

It's Always Something.

Most don’t know the fractional equivalent of Pi. Ha I do!!!
