How interesting!<br /><br />The Christian hymn "This Is My Father's World" <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/This_Is_My_Father%27s_World" rel="nofollow">mentions</a> "the music of the spheres." I doubt, however, that the lyricist knew one whit about music fashioned from pi.Always On Watchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08192688822955022541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320479736034351430.post-79972944101612441522015-07-15T05:43:16.585-05:002015-07-15T05:43:16.585-05:00What do you mean by "exists"?What do you mean by "exists"?jeznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320479736034351430.post-51683600973785430442015-07-15T05:39:33.704-05:002015-07-15T05:39:33.704-05:00Repeat the experiment with a lower base, eg. pi in...Repeat the experiment with a lower base, eg. pi in base 8:<br />3.1103755242102643021514230630505600670163<br />all the notes fall within an octave.<br />Regardless of what base we use, the the probability of each digit seems to be independent of the preceding digit, ie they notes are independent.

As a piano teacher and choir director in an elementary school, I network with several of my former students from years ago. One of these former students posted <i>The Song of Pi!</i> to my <i>Facebook</i> timeline.<br /><br />Thanks for the reminder about Einstein's birthday. Quite the coincidence, huh?Always On Watchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08192688822955022541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320479736034351430.post-9630239662335871762015-07-14T22:45:54.796-05:002015-07-14T22:45:54.796-05:00Where to you find this stuff?
