3.14159…. so on and so forth, but my question is *why* and *how* did we decide or learn that those digits were of pi if it’s an irrational number? if it never ends couldn’t you technically just make it up? like i saw a news article, a woman/her team calculated TRILLIONS of digits of pi—how is that possible?

This video taught me how to instinctually understand pi and how we calculate it better than any teacher ever did for me. This visual will explain WHY the number is 3.14, and as others have said, the “calculating to the X number” is getting it more and more precise to that degree.
