Happy Pi Day

pi-pieBy Darren Smith, Weekend Contributor

Today is historical, or horological if you prefer. It is a day in which the mathematical representation π aligns with our clock sequence, that is 3/14.

But, this year marks the only time within a hundred years when the month / day / two digit year format can result in the ability to observe π day to its greatest precision

In what is referred to as Sequential Time this day will represent π in its most precise measurement. It begins with 3/14/15 9:26:53.58979… and manifests in each time zone twice if a twelve hour clock is used.

One could wonder if at this date/time moment π is theoretically able to extend its precision possibly to the most basic level of time measurement, tP, the Planck Time unit.

Or, you may simply be irrational in your diet and celebrate with a slice of π. We recommend banana cream.
