For instance, while I was riding yesterday, I started thinking about the difference between 26" and 29" wheels on a mountain bike. Which led me to think about the relationships between the wheel sizes, specifically calling to mind that pi is the ratio of a circle's diameter to its circumference. I then began to ponder pi and found myself wondering if there were some other world with its own unique system of mathematics where pi is an integer.
Like I said, not sure where that one came from or whether it proves an increase in cognitive function or just the opposite. But I do like pi.
What did you think I meant?
The book / movie "Contact" clears up that whole meaning of pi issue.
ReplyDeleteI find myself lost in thought a lot on the bike. Sadly, it's usually a song phrase or stanza that keeps repeating over and over.
