Pi to 32 decimal places. On #PiDay, that's it takes for all ten Arabic numerals to appear at least once: 3.14159265358979323846264338327950 — PolitiTweet.org

On #PiDay, personally, I'm good for a baker’s dozen of digits: 3.141592653589. Enough to get me Earth's circumference to 1/1000 of an inch. — PolitiTweet.org

To some, the value of Pi is the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter. To others, value of Pi is $3.79 at their local diner on #PiDay — PolitiTweet.org

Neil deGrasse Tyson @neiltyson

Pi is useful in Math, Science, & Engineering. It even appears in Einstein’s Relativity And in Geeky kitchens, where Pi Pies are a thing on #PiDay https://t.co/IxiJOkl9HV — PolitiTweet.org

Neil deGrasse Tyson @neiltyson

The “P” sound in the Greek letter Pi evokes “periphery”. Multiply any circle's diameter by Pi and you get its circumference on #PiDay — PolitiTweet.org

@Callout3 Then, I suppose, #PiDay cannot exist in the UK. Sorry. — PolitiTweet.org

Neil deGrasse Tyson @neiltyson

So that we're all on the same Pi-page… If you measure the circumference of a (flat) circle and divide it by the diameter of the same circle, you get the value of Pi. That value of Pi is the same for ANY size circle you draw on #PiDay. — PolitiTweet.org

March 14 (3.14) Happy #PiDay to all the pi-lingual peoples of the world. — PolitiTweet.org

@gmweiser @HarshPatel2100 No. I don’t have public agendas. But I’m intrigued when people divide over what they think I mean, each side pressuming a different agenda for me when none was stated. — PolitiTweet.org

@willringgen @HarshPatel2100 Maybe I’m wrong. But as I understand it, nearly all cowmilk we consume derives from cows that are kept lactating long after they need milk to nourish their calves. — PolitiTweet.org

@SwissYooper FYI: I verified your point of origin before I replied to you. Had you hailed from Australia or the Far East, my reply would have been different. — PolitiTweet.org

@HarshPatel2100 Honest, objective truths can land anywhere on the darkness spectrum. — PolitiTweet.org

Thanks. I should have said “Cattle”, so these two clearly won’t be lactating, but will nonetheless likely end up on somebody’s dinner-plate. — PolitiTweet.org

Nice to see how Cows can be playful in their spare time — when not being slaughtered for steak or artificially induced to lactate. https://t.co/nhvthtdzNQ — PolitiTweet.org

@wozniak2012 We would fly off at a tangent, into interstellar space at our current orbital speed of 18 mi/sec. And we would all rapidly freeze to death. This would happen 500 seconds after the Sun actually disapeared from space — travel time for light & gravity. — PolitiTweet.org

How did it all begin? How will it all end? What’s it all made of? Are we alone in the Universe? Do we live in a simulation? Do Parallel Universes exist? What is our place in the Universe? https://t.co/S18uIRwISF https://t.co/ZyuIjOWuxv — PolitiTweet.org

We’re just sayin’. To abolish mask -wearing laws in some States while the rest of the Nation keeps theirs is like designating a peeing section of the swimming pool. — PolitiTweet.org

@shadowsmagazine @zcichy @hesyandlexy FYI: She follows me. I DM’ed her, which, according to Twitter programming, opens a two-way DM between us, whether or not I follow her. — PolitiTweet.org

Neil deGrasse Tyson @neiltyson

@hesyandlexy That thread decayed rapidly. To rescue civility, I invite you to read my 2019 book "Letters from an Astrophysicist". It features my personal correspondence on many topics, including religion, UFOs, and the paranormal. Can't afford it? DM your address and I'll send a copy. — PolitiTweet.org

@hesyandlexy Hmm. What’s the single most arrogant thing I’ve ever said? — PolitiTweet.org

I’m 37 years late in this revelation, but seems to me, everything the Terminator did in the Police Station after he said “I’ll be back!” could have done had he simply said , “I will stay.” — PolitiTweet.org
