Pi and the Mirage of Patternicity
About this episode
The episode discusses a claim about pi increasing at a specific decimal place and its implications in mathematics and cosmology.
Send us Fan Mail In April 2025, a claim began circulating online: pi is gradually increasing around the 7,237th decimal place. A math enthusiast in Cincinnati named April Simons had apparently flagged the anomaly. Prof F.O. Olsday, head of the Number Theory Group at Princeton, was quoted confirming it. Cosmologists were linking it to the accelerating expansion of the universe. The same algorithm, the same hardware, different results. A 4 becoming a 5. Persistent. Inexplicable. Except that "F....
