COUNTDOWN TO TAU DAY!!!


thats a great question, tau is a circles circumference divided by its radius. It is better than pi for many reasons, just read my previous posts.

people say they like pi but they cannot give reasons! Why? Because there are no reasons! Tau is the true circle constant!

Pi is used slightly more frequently
you misunderstand, tau is used more than pi. tau is not better because it is bigger, but it is better because it is more intuitive.

Pi is used slightly more frequently
read the Tau Manifesto.

pi is a number.
69 is a number.
guess what? none of them are actually better. why? there numbers.
i would say having tau lions chancing after me is a lot worse than pi lions.
no number is inherently better than the other, it boils down to personal preference. in my opinion, the best number is 13. to someone else, thats a sign of bad luck.

I like thirteen too. But tau is more intuitive than pi, it makes trig easier to teach. It is more practical than pi

That is the one valid argument for pi, but it has a simple rebuttal:
The formula for elastic potential energy is PE=(1/2)kx^2, where k is the spring constant. physicists don't define (1/2)k to be another constant, say, c, because that would be impractical, we don't want to have too many constants floating around. The same goes for circles. "Oh!" you say, "Then why don't we just use pi and leave it at that?". Well the answer comes down to how we derive the formula for the area of a circle. to get the formula, you have to define the circumference in terms of the radius, to get the function C(r)=τr, the area formula can now be found by integrating C(r) with respect to r. So the area in terms of the radius A(r)=(1/2)τr^2. Only now can we simplify to get πr^2. The truth is, τ is a more practical constant, as it is the period of a sine wave, one full rotation of a circle, the denominator of h-bar (Planck's constant divided by τ). Circles are defined in terms of their RADIUS, their diameter has no real geometric significance. The only logical circle constant is τ, because it relates circumference to radius.
