>"Why cant we change Pi to three? The Pi button on my calculator has broken"
it's been done:
1st Kings 7:23: "He made the Sea of cast metal, circular in shape,
measuring ten cubits from rim to rim and five cubits high. It took a line
of thirty cubits to measure around it."
A circumference of 30 cubits and a diameter of 10 cubits makes pi = 3.
Thus proved by scripture, your calculator is no longer broken, rather it is now fixed having risen up and cast off the offending approximation in its righteous wrath. Amen and hallelujah.
