youtu.be/6G-ty4KVVMcDoes the Bible Get π Wrong?Scholar Sauce2024-03-14 | The passage 1 Kings 7:23 famously identifies the value of π as 3, which is clearly incorrect. Many critics of the Bible have pointed to this clear incorrect mathematical fact as evidence that the Bible cannot be true. But hiding within the Hebrew gematria is a surreally accurate approximation of the value of π that was considerably better than anything else available at the time. Was this intended by the authors of this verse though? We asked Dr. Dan McClellan, a scholar of the Bible and religion, for a little help on this one.

In his book, the Elements written in 300 BCE, Euclid described planar geometry using five postulates or axioms. One of these axioms was considerably more complicated than the others and seemed to some to be likely provable as a theorem from the other four more natural postulates. But no ancient Greek was ever able to prove Euclid's fifth postulate and this question persisted for over 2000 years until it was finally resolved in the 19th century CE. It took 2000 years to confirm that indeed you cannot prove Euclid's fifth postulate from the other four, but this proof resulted in us learning of another type of plane geometry that is completely consistent and satisfies the first four of Euclid's postulates but not the fifth. This type of geometry is called hyperbolic geometry and weird stuff happens there: triangles have less than 180 degrees, similar triangles are congruent, and rectangles are nowhere to be found. This discovery inspired further advancements in geometry including Riemannian and semi-Riemannian geometry which is the mathematical framework that Albert Einstein used to develop general relativity and advance our understanding of gravity and the universe.

They almost always included a large world map that you would eventually get some kind of airship or plane to traverse. But those maps hid a dark secret: they were only pretending to be spheres. And no, they aren't flat planes either. They are actually shaped like a donut, or more precisely, a torus. This shape is pretty bizarre, but there are good reasons why early game developers chose to use a torus. In this video, come explore the strange geometry and topology of a classic JRPG toroidal world map and see why it was able to convince most gamers that the games actually occurred on spheres.

Well, I'm here to tell you that there's no such thing (well, sort of...). In this video we learn about mathematical induction and how it can be used to prove that statements that depend on a natural number are true for all natural numbers n. Induction does this by showing that a base case is true, say the case where n=1, and then proves an induction step where the fact being true for n=k implies that it is also true for n=k+1. Then the two work together where the induction step applied to the base case implies that the n=2 case works and then the induction step applied to the n=2 case implies that the n=3 is true and so on. In this video we talk about these ideas in a fun and engaging way before talking about the potential pitfalls of incorrect induction arguments that can result in incorrect conclusions. In particular, we'll talk about the incorrect proof that all horses are the same color and why induction fails to work there even though at first glance it seems to work.

In it, he argued that instead of π, which is the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter, we should use the ratio of a circle's circumeference to its radius as the circle constant. This constant, which is equal to 2π, was later dubbed τ by Michael Hartl in a 2010 article that he wrote called The Tau Manifesto. Dr. Palais' paper launched an international debate about whether we should continue to use π or switch to τ as the circle constant. Dr. Palais has since been referred to as the Godfather of the τ movement.
Since 2016, Dr. Palais and Dr. Alan Parry have held several debates on this topic as I think that we should not abandon π so easily. In today's video, Dr. Parry takes on the Godfather of τ in a debate that was filmed on Pi Day 2023 and is being released on Scholar Sauce on Tau Day 2023. We hope that you enjoy it. Let us know in the comments which circle constant you prefer and why. And don't forget to eat two pies today!

Quite often people think that π is an amazing number because it has an infinite decimal representation that doesn't repeat indefinitely. But these facts are true of the vast majority of real numbers and so really aren't what makes π special. In this video, we talk about why π is not special for these popular properties that it has, and highlight why it really is special.
