Kudos to whoever offered that thought!

So are you basically saying that since Pi is so abstract, it was used to keep people chasing their tails (so to say)?
Sort of added for "filler"
Thanks,

I'm sorry, Molimo, I should have explained that better.

check the 4/4 part of the video from 0:45 an on and you will be able to recognize the exercises of the manual (bare in mind that this blocke says it is dangerous)
here is the link to the thread! www.abovetopsecret.com...

Well, π isn't that 'abstract' per se. It is irrational, though.

Here it is just a fanciful gimmick in the countdown, because it fits its purpose — namely 'returning to "one" (here π) on said pre-programmed date. But that is just some sort of smoke screen effect —à-la-Chris-Angel— to amaze the kids…

You could be on to something... I have been considering Tau for a while, but kept my focus on Pi.
T = 2pi
But, as with any good argument (and I have heard this one many time before), one must hear from both sides before forming an opinion...
The Pi Manifesto
I am not for, or against, either Pi or Tau... heck, for a while I was even considering the square root of two
Just another angle/option to consider.
I wonder what Euler would have to say on the subject?
