AMERICAN PI π DAY

American Pi π Day is observed according to the date as to how it is written in America.

The sequence of numbers of the relationship between the radius of a circle and its circumference is called Pi (a Greek Letter).  This fraction is decimalized into a number which has INFINITE numbers after the decimal point.  There are no recurring sequences of numbers.

 Pi = 3.141592653589793238462647............................

 

It was decided to "celebrate" this number sequence by matching it to the numbers

of the date (according to the American way of writing the date).  

So that is how the relationship between the decimal number of Pi relates to the date!!!

 

Date: 3rd Month of March

Day: 14th Day of March

Therefore 3-14

 Pi = 3.14

*************** 

So this year, 2013, that is as far as the numbers refer to the corresponding date.

(Unless you want to use the 24 hour time sequences)

However, in the year 2015, there are more numbers which match up to the date and time,

taking into account the date and time to fractions of a second.!!!!

 

Date: 3rd Month of March

Day:   14th Day of the Month

Year: (20)15

Time: 9.26 AM/PM

Seconds:53 seconds

Fractions of seconds:  589!!

Pi = 3.141592653589

**************************

 

Australians, for example write the dates differently, therefore the number sequences of Pi do not correspond to the dates.

A Science Lesson with Brian Cox - ABC Sydney - Australian Broadcasting Corporation

 Brian Cox received his doctorate in physics from the University of Manchester, completing his thesis in 1998. In 2005, he was awarded a Royal Society University Research Fellowship. He splits his time between work at the University of Manchester and at the CERN facility in Geneva, Switzerland, home of the Large Hadron Collider. He still loves to play music, when he's not appearing in clever TV shows and radio programs like 'The Infinite Monkey Cage'. 

SPRING-AUTUMN EQUINOX 2012

The September Equinox 2012:
September 22,

14:49 (or 2.49pm) UTC (Greenwich time)  12.49AM Sept 23rd Melbourne Australia

There are two equinoxes every year – in September and March – when the sun shines directly on the equator and the length of day and night is nearly equal. Seasons are opposite on either side of the equator, so the equinox in September is also known as the "autumnal (fall) equinox" in the northern hemisphere. However, in the southern hemisphere, it's known as the "spring (vernal) equinox".
*******************
Why is it called equinox?

On the equinox, night and day are nearly exactly the same length – 12 hours – all over the world. This is the reason it's called an "equinox", derived from Latin, meaning "equal night".

However, even if this is widely accepted, it isn't entirely true. In reality equinoxes don't have exactly 12 hours of daylight

The September equinox occurs the moment the sun crosses the celestial equator – the imaginary line in the sky above the Earth’s equator – from north to south.

This happens either on September 22, 23, or 24 every year. On any other day of the year, the Earth's axis tilts a little away from or towards the Sun. But on the two equinoxes, the Earth's axis tilts neither away from nor towards the Sun.

Celebrate Pi Day - March 14th

Pi Day! The nerdy holiday celebrated by math geeks worldwide. This is the day we gather around to celebrate that amazing little (long) number, pi.

Pi, approximately 3.14159, is the mysterious mathematical constant (number) that represents the ratio of any circle's circumference to its diameter.

Pi has its day, appropriately, on March 14 (3/14).
