Meme of two women fighting while a man smokes from a pipe in the background.
The women fighting are labeled “mathematicians defining pi” and “engineers just using 3 because it’s within tolerance”
The man smoking is labeled “astrophysicists” and the pipe is labeled “pi = 1”
As an Astrophysicist, I have never seen anybody use pi=1, you just leave the character, it’s anyway better to read, is not like you do any calculations by hand anyway. More common is c=hbar=kB=1, but that is not an approximate, is a gauge in another unit system. Also… Astronomy is not astrophysics…
As an astrophysicist, can you read me my horoscope? I’m a scorpion
Sure, give it to me, I can read it for you.
“is not like you do calculations by hand anyway”
… get off my lawn, whippersnapper.
