| Pi: Printed here for the first time On-Line is the mysterious 216 digit number, as used in the movie Pi. Below is the dvd capture I copied the number down from. 94142 24343 15126 59321 05487 23904 86828 51291 34748 76027 67195 92346 02385 82958 30472 50165 23252 59296 92572 76553 64363 46272 71840 12012 64304 55463 29450 12784 22648 41075 66234 78962 67285 92858 29534 75027 72262 64645 62176 13984 82951 94754 12398 5 01 One of the first thing you will notice is that the above number is, in fact, 218 digits long (5 * 10 * 4) + (5 * 3) + 3. The last two digits are "0" and "1". Saul talks about the computer becoming aware of it's own digital nature. I choose to explain the extra digits with this logic. I welcome comments, discussions and your theories as to why. Now, to other interesting things. I will discuss individual digits within the number by using a system the same as arrays in computer programming.. P(23) will be the 23rd digit of this number. Pi(23) would be the 23rd digit of the decimal places of Pi itself. Firstly, 216 is 6^3, that is, 6 * 6 * 6. This is very interesting, as this number is representational of the secret name of G-d to the Hassidic Jews. At this very moment, I am using spare proc time on my computer to test the Primality of the number. This may take a few days, so, you will have to wait for the update. The 216 digit number can't be Prime, because it ends in a 5, I have to check the 218 digit number. I will get back to you on it. --Go Back to the Main Page-- |
