This is what Pi looks like at a value of 180sin(Pi/180).
This is a drawing of Pi as it expands forever closer to a circle. This is a snapshot of an n-sided polygon with n=180 (or 180 right triangles that when you draw secant lines around the edge gives you an area equal to an n sided polygon with n=180). As n gets larger and approaches infinity the value approaches Pi forever because you are getting closer and closer to a circle for ever and as you fill in the edge of the circle (and the edge of the 'circle' gets smoother as n gets larger). The area gets a little larger and the circumference get larger also as you add sides (as n grows larger), but the diameter stays the same. When you use secant lines (a line through two points on the edge of the 'circle' every two degrees in this drawing) you are approaching Pi from the inside of the circle. This is the inner boundary of Pi. If you use tangent lines around the drawing (a line through only one point around the 'circle') then as you...

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...
