How do we assign rational value to numbers like pi and infinity, numbers that mathematically have no rational ending, if our brains cannot rationalize these numbers? The concept alone is as irrational as the numbers…

Irrational means that the number cannot be represented as a fraction, it does not mean that the numbers are harder to understand. π is the ratio between a circle’s circumference and diameter. This is true regardless of the size of the circle, but π cannot be represented in the form of x/y. √2 and e are also irrational. Both numbers are very important, and we know a lot about both of them, but neither can be represented as x/y
