Has always driven me nuts that pi is an approximation.

That makes you a scientist. It allows you to pursue things that have never been understood before. That is good. I am an engineer, I am satisfied with an approximation if it can adequately be used to serve my purpose to make something useful. And make millions of them.

The various sizes of infinity is interesting but for me not very useful. Sort of looking at dazies growing on a hillside.
