      @neiltyson If I asked you to state Pi from memory, how many decimal places would your answer include? #justcurious #somethingtostrivefor #bartrick

      Only eight. A fan of Albert Einstein’s quote “Never memorize something that you can look up.”

          Why'd you memorise that quote then?

          I feel very strongly that Pi not equalling exactly 3 is a mathematical message to humans that we are looking at the universe completely wrong.

          This is part of my teaching philosophy. I'm teaching my students how to identify, locate, and apply knowledge, not to endure the world's crappiest game of trivia.

          I need all of the brain capacity for processing that I can get. Being discerning & knowing where to go to get that information is the key. Access to information is so important for science. Save #NetNeutrality

          My favorite quote also. I like to think too much in conscious memory interferes with real thinking. At least that is my excuse for a terrible memory.

          I believe you are an x-feeltuist just like all of earthlings prior too us. We just now all have a shot to think about life again so I propose we reset the clocks this Christmas before 2018 for it doesn't exist and I'd rather start again at zero lol
