π (or pi) is one of the most important constants in mathematics and has a variety of interesting properties (which you can read about at wikipedia)

One of the properties that π is conjectured to have is that it is normal, which is to say that its digits are all distributed evenly, with the implication that it is a disjunctive sequence, meaning that all possible finite sequences of digits will be present somewhere in it. If we consider π in base 16 (hexadecimal) , it is trivial to see that if this conjecture is true, then all possible finite files must exist within π. The first record of this observation dates back to 2001.

From here, it is a small leap to see that if π contains all possible files, why are we wasting exabytes of space storing those files, when we could just look them up in π!

If you did anything more than basic high school trigonometry, you'd know this Tau shit is an epic meme created by some epic popsci memesters.

If you were at least an idiotic apping science undergrad, you'd know pi appears in many indefinite integrals and infinite series, namely the Gaussian integral, Riemann's zeta(2) and zeta(4). Cauchy's integral formula, the integral form of the arctangent (taught even in an integral calculus course for retarded appers), the integral over the whole domain of sech(x) or sinc(x) and many more.

Since all you do is watching epic math videos in Youtube and Facebook for geeknerds such as yourself, you think you've got a word in this. Yet the most complex thing you've ever done with pi is calculating a perimeter, and you must have had a hard time with it.
