Pi

So here's the ultimate mystery of the circle.
Pi = Circumference of any perfect circle divided by its diameter. Commonly known as 3.14.
But that's just an approximate value since the division goes on forever.
Current record is said to be 5 TRILLION decimal digits for Pi.

5 trillion! The value NEVER ends! You can spend your entire life dividing circumference of a circle by its diameter and your life will end before the calculation is over.

So simple is a circle.
Yet, human mathematics cannot calculate its dimensions in a finite number.

By mere existence of Pi proves that there is infinity.

Circle is closed loop. Diameter has beginning and end.
Just can't mathematically calculate it in a finite number.

So what does that mean?

Either the circle is a mystery, mathematics is flawed, or humans are just stupid.
