As for pi, I don't even think it exists, time and numbers are all relative.
It sure does exist! What are time and numbers relative to? If you can answer that, you would be a rich man.

They sure do know how to use your post against you. I have to choose my words with caution.

A kid in my math class last year memorized it up to 84 digits in one night. That was pretty weird. I only did like 10.

Tell him nice job! 84 is pretty good...Do you know how long it took?

Why, they're relative to the multiverse, of course, among other things. Numbers only mean anything because they usually have some kind of magnitude attached to them; take away the meaning of the number symbols, or the relevance of magnitude, and you lose any relevance pi or other constants/all numbers have. As for time, obviously time is only relevant to beings which are affected by the fourth dimension that is 'time'. In the same way that humans are unaware of anything beyond our four dimensions of existence, matter and forces that exist within other dimensions; such as gravity, 'strings' (as in "string theory"), or chaos; are unaffected by time, and thus time becomes relative only to those who exist at least within it's dimension.

Now gimme my million $$$.

Oh, come on, you know it makes perfect sense, but yeh maybe I shouldn't have taken the Red Pill and the Blue Pill at the same time...

But seriously, because gravity is one of the weakest forces around (look at the size/mass of the earth compared with the force of it's gravity), it's thought that gravity is a residual force leaking from another dimension. And String Theory mathematics works with at least 20 different dimensions, or so I've been told.

Do you know the Grand Unified Theory of Everything?
That's what I was referring to, sorry for not clarifying. I would give you a few million if had had several million.

Yes, string theory does refer to 20+ dimensions. I LOVE physics (especially theoretical and astro-). Did you see the NOVA special on string thoery?

The only string theory I know about is the one where I use the right amount to hang my conkers on.

Watch NOVA next time string theory is on. It's a unique presentation, but gets the point across.
