Pi Tense

When numerologists or paranormal gurus claim that the present value of the transcendental number π on a planet or from a galaxy was different in the past and will change again in the future due to competing invisible forces in the spiritual realm.

A Fields medalist confided to some close faculty colleagues that he believes in the pi tense hypothesis albeit he couldn’t prove it.

Pi Awakening

When an oft-semi-innumerate lay public realize that the number π has so much more to offer in terms of mathematical beauty or metamathematics (or mathematical philosophy), which allows them to experience sporadic aha moments, other than what they had boringly learned about the constant in school.

Going by the increasing number of pop math titles on pi published by math educators of different nationalities in different places, it can be arguably posited that there is presently a post-pandemic pi awakening sweeping the planet, much to the delight of both recreational and amateur mathematicians.

Pi on Fire

When the number π is so proactive and paranoid in marketing herself so that she would constantly remain in the mathematical consciousness of mathematicians and math educators, while making herself conspicuous in the eyes of the lay public to be part of popular culture.

To avoid being disrupted or eclipsed by other mathematical constants, all vying to get the attention of the mathematical brethren, it’s not surprising to witness pi on fire 24/7/365.

Xmas Pi

When the number π has unprovenly been using dreams for centuries to hint at number theorists and numerologists that besides some Old Testament books in the Bible, the birth of Christ is also revealed via its digits, if only they know how or where to look for them—had they sought the Holy Spirit, the Third Person in the Trinity, for direction, they would have received the revelation instead of struggling with their own intellect.

Divining the virgin birth of the Messiah via Xmas pi would have been a digital coup for the mathematical brethren, who could have been flirting with mathematical immortality thanks to their discovery.

Orgasmic Pi

The aha! feeling math geeks experience at the sight or sound of a little juicy or sexy theorem, or math factoid, on the number π—a minor form of mathematical bliss that could last for days in some instances.

Just as Roland Barthes, French writer and critic, associates a good or pleasurable read with a dizzying orgasm, pure mathematicians or number theorists secretly dream or long for an orgasmic pi chance encounter, especially when they’re at their most vulnerable state of mind.

Pi Sector

The minor sector formed when the two hands of a circular clock at 3:14 are imaginarily extended to its edge or circumference.

What fraction of a clock is the pi sector? 13/360

Pi Dung

All the falsehoods, white lies, or fake news about the number π that conspiracy-minded Trumpublicans and QAnonists share on social media to their tribes, most of whom are ladle-fed with daily Fox News misinformation—for example, the googolth digit of π is the biblical value of 3; ET sent an apocalyptic message to earthlings on Pi Day via a Mar-a-Lago resort’s terminal.

Is pi dung a subset of woke math or a root of white supremacy math?
