This captivating illustration presents Pi, geometrically depicted as 720sin(Pi/720), with a radius of one, as if it were light. Jason meticulously sketched it using pencil and paper, subsequently inverting the colors to enhance visibility from his perspective.

Within this drawing, Jason emphasizes the absence of perfect circles throughout the universe. Circles are inherently composed of triangles, just like all other shapes, and are profoundly intertwined with the number Pi. The closer you cram triangles within a given perimeter, the more the resulting shape approximates a circle, yet never truly attains it. This elucidates why Pi extends to infinity. Pi represents the circumference of a circle (the distance around its perimeter) divided by its diameter (the distance from one side, through the center, to the opposite side). With the addition of more triangles, the circumference incrementally expands (though by diminishing increments), while the diameter remains constant. For ins...

Jason D. Padgett is an artist and thinker whose journey challenges conventional perception. As the author of Struck by Genius, a book that has been optioned for a major motion picture, his unique artistic perspective has captivated audiences worldwide. What makes Jason’s work even more extraordinary is his experience with motion blindness (akinetopsia), a condition that causes him to perceive the world in discrete frames, like stop-motion animation or a flipbook. Rather than seeing continuous motion, he perceives reality as a series of still images. While many might see this as a limitation, Jason has embraced it as a gift, using it to explore intricate patterns and structures that often go unnoticed. His hand-drawn works reflect a...
