Another interesting article Pi in the sky by the intrepid duo Ali Frolop, and Douglas Scott.
Those pesky CMB anomalies again!

"Pi in the sky" is a phrase that refers to the mathematical concept of pi and its significance in the universe. It is often associated with the idea of finding patterns or connections between pi and other natural phenomena.
Pi is important in science because it is a fundamental mathematical constant that appears in many equations and formulas, particularly in geometry and physics. It is also an irrational number, meaning it has infinite digits after the decimal point, making it a crucial tool for precise calculations.
The value of pi is approximately 3.14159. However, it is an irrational number, meaning it cannot be expressed as a finite decimal or fraction. It has been calculated to over one trillion digits, but for most practical purposes, 3.14 is a sufficient approximation.
Pi is calculated by dividing the circumference of a circle by its diameter. This ratio is always constant, regardless of the size of the circle, making pi a universal value. It can also be calculated using infinite series or other mathematical methods.
The significance of pi in the universe is still a topic of debate among scientists and mathematicians. Some see it as a fundamental constant that governs the laws of the universe, while others see it as a mere coincidence. However, its presence in many natural phenomena, such as the orbits of planets and the shapes of galaxies, suggests that it plays a significant role in the structure and function of the cosmos.
