Pi isn’t just a ratio for circles. Yes, there *is* a way to understand the universality of pi….

Pi is a fundamental constant of the universe. Pi has to be *exactly what it is* in order for the universe *as it is* to exist. If Pi is a different number, *the whole universe is different*.

Beyond ELI5 for the haters: There are those who will argue since we don’t *know* that Pi is rational or irrational then we don’t have an *exact* value for it. That is entirely immaterial. The universe behaves naturally, and that nature is the reason why we have the concept of Pi.
