Post Pi

Also known as “Post Truth Pi” or “Fake Pi.” Alternative facts on the number π that are popular in some political or conspiratorial circles, which oft-half-innumerate politicians like to share with their voters to sound mathematically civilized.

From the Encyclopedia of “Alternative Facts,” here are some post pi entries:
The value of π is different on different planets and galaxies.
The number π is contained within π.
The googolth digit of π is 3.
ET sent a pi message to earthlings on Independence Day.
The number π and the Bible are intimately related.

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 Reverie

A semiconscious state when you allow your creative mind to define a new (or redefine an existing) word or phrase related to the number π—for example, “pi in the sky” carries different meanings depending on the context.

By drifting into a pi reverie, be it by seeing what’s outside the window while pretending to listen to a sermon, or by staring into space or at the cloud in a posture of prayer, Ian has been blessed with a hundred-odd pi definitions on Urban Dictionary.

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.

Pi Apparition

When the ghost or spirit of the number π would appear to some lucky mathematicians or math educators to reveal to them some of her sexy numerical, geometric, or trigonometric properties—when they least expect her to visiting them, while experiencing an aha!

Unlike demonic apparitions that petrify even diehard Proud Boys “patriots,” pi apparitions are welcomed by both the mathematical brethren and the numerological fraternity.

Pi Swing

When the hourly or daily point swings for certain volatile stocks or cryptocurrencies appear to follow the digits of the irrational number π.

Since the Covid-19 outbreak, superstitious speculators who’ve witnessed a number of pi swings wonder whether there could be some numerological or paranormal explanation to that perceived phenomenon.
