Maybe I’m missing something, but that sounds like nonsense to me.
Pi is of course based on two measurements, a circle’s C and D. Now, a calculated value can only be us “good” as the relevant measurements are. So if a circle’s C and D are known to, say, eight digits each, pi can only be known to eight digits.
50 trillion digits? Nope, not buying it. But maybe I’m missing something here.
to infinity and beyond!
Your assumption is incorrect.
Your statement is far too limited. There are ways to calculate Pi that do not involve measurement at all. Typically the calculation would involve the sum of an infinite series of fractions such that the fractions tend to become smaller very quickly.
