10 Surprising Pi Day Facts

10 Surprising Pi Day Facts. In honor of Pi Day on March 14, here are 10 facts about the essential math constant. 1. Because pi is an infinite number, every single digit will never be determined. Pi has currently been calculated to 22,459,257,718,361 digits. 2. Pi has it’s own writing style called Pilish. The number of letters in successive word are chosen to match the number sequence found in pi. 3.

Physicist Larry Shaw, the "Prince of Pi," launched the first pi celebration in 1988 at a San Francisco science museum. 6. Some people believe that tau, which is pi multiplied by two, is a more intuitive irrational number. 7. Albert Einstein was born on March 14, 1879 and Stephen Hawking died on March 14, 2018. 8. The symbol for pi is the Greek letter π . It is the first letter of the Greek words for “periphery” and “perimeter.”. 9. Because the exact number of pi can never be calculated, we will never be able to find the exact circumference or area of a circle. 10. The record for most digits of pi memorized is held by Rajveer Meena of India. He recited 70,000 decimal places of pi in 2015

Aging Energy Infrastructure Plus Climate Change Are a Growing Risk [Video]

Aging Energy Infrastructure Plus Climate Change Are a Growing Risk

Aging Energy Infrastructure, Plus Climate Change, Are a Growing Risk. NPR reports that Texas investigators say that a power pole , "that appeared to be decayed at the base", was the cause of the worst wildfire in the state's history. Xcel Energy, the state's electric utility, said in a statement that , "its facilities appear to have been involved in an ignition of the Smokehouse Creek fire.". Rob Gramlich, president of consulting firm Grid Strategies, warns that many of the U.S.'s power lines were built 60 to 70 years ago. . According to Gramlich, most electric utility providers in the U.S. lack the technology to let them know when power lines are overheating or sagging. Combined with increased temperatures and drier vegetation, this aging infrastructure could spark larger, more intense wildfires. There are some utilities that are really leaders and are getting ahead of the risk, Michael Wara, director of the Climate and Energy Policy Program at the Woods Institute for the Environment at Stanford University, via NPR. And then there are others that we look at and think are walking into a catastrophe, Michael Wara, director of the Climate and Energy Policy Program at the Woods Institute for the Environment at Stanford University, via NPR. According to experts, wildfire prevention can not only impact safety, but also the cost of energy bills across the nation. We cannot afford – literally, in terms of our pocketbooks – to have utilities be perceived by their investors as high risk, Michael Wara, director of the Climate and Energy Policy Program at the Woods Institute for the Environment at Stanford University, via NPR. There is a set of practices that utilities can take that do not cost an arm and a leg that can dramatically cut the risk of outcomes like we saw in Texas, Michael Wara, director of the Climate and Energy Policy Program at the Woods Institute for the Environment at Stanford University, via NPR
