The Great Pi Conspiracy: Are We Using the Wrong Pi? My understanding of pi is that it is 3.141 with endless number. In other words, pi is a set of numbers that has no ending. It is infinite just like a circle. Because it is infinite, it can not be multiplied or divided with any number and come to any conclusion. You can not calculate a mathematical formula and come to a solid conclusion unless you make the number whole or round it down to numbers that can be divided. To solve the infinite pi problem, the Dark Forces and their minions (the Elites) created the whole number system and rounded the infinite natural pi down to numbers that can be multiplied and divided.
