Tau -- The Better Constant
"Mathematics, rightly viewed, possesses not only truth, but supreme beauty"
--Bertrand Russell
Today we live in a time of crisis, for mathematics has lost what makes it so great, its simplicity, its beauty, and the truth. The reason is simple; a single number has made its way into pop culture, become so well known, so celebrated, that it has become a representative of mathematics itself. This number is π. Under normal circumstances, this would be fine, but these are not normal circumstances, because π is an unintuitive, misused constant. π is living on borrowed time, for there is another number, one far greater, that number is τ (tau). τ is defined as circumference divided by radius, making it more intuitive and easier to learn. I hope you will join this club to support τ, and support the truth.
