Mathematical constant that is the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter
The Extinction of π

PAPER UPDATE, 12/10/2012. The Extinction of Pi. In an important update, I show that my pi=4 metric is basically equivalent to Hilbert's Taxicab or Manhattan metric, where pi also equals 4. This should silence my critics on this issue.
PAPER UPDATE, 4/13/2014. The Extinction of Pi. I have added a section on the cycloid to the first part of the paper, linking the arc length 8r of the cycloid to the kinematic circumference 8r of the circle.
PAPER UPDATE, added 8/30/16, The Extinction of Pi. I have added a third addendum to the opening pages, showing more proof from mainstream experiments that pi=4. This time the proof comes from running tracks, as at the Olympics.

NEW PAPER, 12/12/2012. The Manhattan Metric. Where I show the specific links to Hilbert's math, further supporting my contention that π=4 in kinematic situations.
PAPER UPDATE, 12/18/2012. The Manhattan Metric. I have added an animation sent me by a reader, as well as a link to a Caltech video on youtube. Both support my analysis.

NEW PAPER, added 9/1/16, The Cycloid and the Kinematic Circumference. I use the cycloid again to explain very briefly why pi=4 when you have motion around a circle.
More on Running Tracks

NEW PAPER, added 9/10/16, More on the Running Track. This is to clarify my recent addendum to my paper on pi=4. I show that both the distances and velocities are being miscalculated in the curves on normal running tracks.
A Simple Experiment Proves π = 4

NEW EXPERIMENT, added 9/25/16, Proof that Pi=4. A simple experiment shows you that pi=4 when motion is involved. This one comes all the way from the Netherlands, which is appropriate. You will feel like you have just visited some Netherworld when you see this. It is so amazing I have posted it on both my sites: even my non-science readers will not wish to miss it.
PAPER UPDATE, added 10/4/16, Proof that Pi=4. See addendum. As more proof of the suppression of science, we find that CalTech and Annenberg Learner have deleted their Mechanical Universe videos. All because I linked to one of them to help prove pi=4. If I were wrong, it would be easy to show, right, without deleting their own experiments and animations. So the fact that they are deleting their own presentations should indicate to you they are running scared.
PAPER UPDATE, added 10/6/16, Proof that Pi=4. The video mentioned in the update below has been reposted on YouTube and DailyMotion. See minute 11:15. Someone is on my side.
PAPER UPDATE, added 10/9/16, Proof that Pi=4. The video mentioned in the update below has been removed from YouTube. It lasted 2 days after I linked to it.
PAPER UPDATE, added 11/8/16, Proof that Pi=4. A reader has graciously sent me a gif that recreates part of the video being suppressed on Youtube and elsewhere, and I have embedded it in my paper.

NEW PAPER, added 1/30/21, A Pi Test. A reader gives us a new pi experiment to unwind.
PAPER UPDATE, added 2/14/21, A Pi Test. A second reader has done more good analysis for us here, showing the effect of rolling radius.
