happy pi day! 🍰🤭✨️

Today is Pi Day, March 14, 3/14, the first 3 digits of Pi! I'd say "Happy Pi Day Friday" but the calendar just isn't having it this year. We have to wait a whole 'nother year before that happens. By the way, if you are reading this in 2025, what's the future's like?

A few years ago back in the year 2015, we had something called "Super Pi Day", because 3/14/15 (in the US, standard date format is day/month/year). If you knew to set your watch on that day to 9:26:53AM, you'd achieve peak Pi Day digitry!

If I were a time traveler I might like going back to that day, or I'd go back a year earlier to 2014, just to tell people "Happy Pi Day Friday". Because I'm weird like that.

Pi Day was founded in 1988 by Larry Shaw, at the time an employee of the Exploratorium science museum in San Francisco. If I could time travel I'd go back to 1986, just to give Larry the bright idea of invent Pi Day that year. Why you might ask? So the very first Pi Day would be a Friday!

Because Pi Day started in 1988, today happens to be the 37th Pi Day, a prime number. Or you might say it's the 36th anniversary of when Pi Day started, and 36 is double 18; in Jewish tradition 18 is also known as Chai. The symbol for Chai looks pretty similar to Pi doesn't it? So this year can be called Double Chai Pi Day!

Today I brought an apple pie to work to share with coworkers, and I'm also celebrating Pi Day babies, people who were born on March 14: in 1933 actor Michael Caine and musician Quincy Jones were born, Billy Crystal came into the world in 1948, and Olympian gymnast Simone Biles is celebrating today as well. She was born in 1997 on a Pi Day Friday! In that she shares something in common with the great Albert Einstein, born March 14, 1879, Guess what day of the week his birthday was?

Pi Day Friday!

In comedy, we call that a joke going full circle!

Happy Pi Day to all aspecs!

Yes, I know about the stereotype of nerds being disinterested in relationships, and how not every aspec fits that stereotype, as well as the nerds who are very interested in relationships. If you don’t fit the stereotype, you’re still amazing and awesome.

But for those of us who do, this is a day to be ourselves.

Go out there and have a great Pi Day!

Happy π Day!!!

By J.J.J.

While experimenting in Colorado Springs in 1899, Nikola Tesla discovered that the earth as a whole had certain periods of vibrations, and by using his large oscillator, he could impress electrical vibrations at the same periods upon it creating more energy within the earth. This process is referred to as constructive interference (the interference of two or more waves of equal frequency and phase, resulting in their mutual reinforcement and producing a single amplitude equal to the sum of the amplitudes of the individual waves). By doing this repeatedly using massive amounts of energy previously unheard of, Tesla was able to transmit energy from his transmitter around earth and back to his receiver traveling at a mean velocity of 292,815 miles per second (over 100,000 miles per second faster than the speed of light). This velocity can be confirmed in his patent No. 787,412, filed May 16, 1900, titled "Art of Transmitting Electrical Energy Through the Natural Mediums." Many electrical experimenters have proven this velocity, including Jonathan Zenneck and Arnold Sommerfeld. The mathematical equation to this speed was developed by English scientist and inventor Charles Wheatstone, who experimented and calculated that the velocity of electrostatic induction through a wire was v=π/2( c ). If we compare Wheatstone's equation with Tesla's measurements, it looks like this:

v = average velocity of Tesla’s electrical current round earth (miles per second)

(You can plug in any metric and get the same results)

c = speed of light (miles per second)

v = π / 2 (186,300)

v = 1.57 (186,300)

v = 292,491

I know most may question the ability to transmit anything faster than the speed of light; however, the speed of light is a constant, not a limit. The velocity of light is an expression of the ratio of energy to mass; Tesla’s waves functioned on different dimensions. The electromagnetic waves we use in today’s technology travel at the speed of light, but due to the nature of these waves, they diminish with distance. This phenomenon is because the electromagnetic lines of force and the magnetic lines of force intercept at right angles to one other, causing resistance (radiation resistance). This is also why the waves eventually lose energy. Tesla, on the other hand, used an oscillating wave (or a longitudinal wave), in which the electromagnetic and magnetic lines of force run parallel with each other (hence there is no friction or loss of energy). As a result, the more power he used, the faster and further these waves could travel.

“What will be achieved by waves which do not diminish with distance, baffles comprehension.“ –Nikola Tesla

Einstein’s Theory of Relativity indicating that "nothing can travel faster than light" is now generally accepted as scientific fact and currently taught in most academic books. However, Tesla’s work challenging this theory certainly warrants further study into this area. First, Tesla’s experiments were far more in-depth than his colleagues’ work, as well as utilizing more advanced equipment to conduct the experiments themselves. Secondly, he provided solid and sufficient empirical evidence concretely refuting Einstein’s theory. Based on this, Tesla’s groundbreaking work should, at a minimum, be acknowledged in today’s world and certainly further explored.

Haaappy Pi day - blithe

Happy Pi Day! I found the biggest slice of pie ever! 🥧😋 But why is this pie cherry and not radicchio?!? 🍒😤🐢

Oh yeah... Happy Pi Day
