Black Holes And Pi?

[flobadob]

Is there any correlation between the inexplicable nature of Black Holes in outer space and the fact that Pi is a seemingly never ending number?
If a star (which we'll assume is spherical) implodes, where does the implosion end if there is no final outcome to the between mathematics of it?

I don't see any basis for saying "there is no final outcome". You can have an item that is exactly of length pi. A circle of diameter of exactly 1m will have a circumference of pi. It's a definite length.

Yeah but a black hole can't express it as a decimal (because it has no hands to hold it's pencil).

[Peter Pedant]

pi is also transcendental as well as irrational if anyone is interested

The OP is a bit like trying to compare bananas to space time because both are curved. Where’s Jim360 when you need him?

FF, this was covered in Magic Numbers by Hannah Fry the other day, yes a "circle" has an exact length. But it's impossible to draw an accurate circle. So Draw one of diameter 1 and the length of the circumference should be PI but it wont be perfect and thus won't be PI. a circle is a purely theoretical construct and PI is irrational because you can't draw a line exactly PI long, as a circle or otherwise.

That's like saying you can't draw a line of length √2 when all you need is to draw an isosceles right angled triangle with two sides of 1cm long.
Okay, you could argue you can't draw line of exactly 1cm long because there will always be some (albeit very tiny) error, but in that case you might as well argue there is no such thing as 1

well I wouldn't go with that leap of illogic!
