willard 0 #1 March 14, 2007 ...and Happy Birthday Mr. Einstein Ever wonder where, in the sequence of Pi, your birthday can be found? No you can find out! http://www.facade.com/legacy/amiinpi/ Mine starts at the 27754th digit. I found this peom that seemed suitable for display here. I found no mention of an author. "A Scientific American's Dilemma" Hubble saw the universe expanding Watson and Crick found life's start Einstein sensed relativity While surgeons transplanted a heart. Electrons exchange and release energy So Schrodinger's cat can meow Simultaneously its life is lost- Quantum mechanics will say how. Chaos and order are intertwined Physically, mentally, and more, Maybe matter is vibrating strings But how could one know for sure? This philosophy called science Has plausibly progressed But after a Grand Theory comes about Can there be any more significant success? And if a Grand Theory were proposed, Unifying all that exists, Would the end of pi be found as well, Or has math become eclipsed? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think the two digits on the front are likely to repeat in my lifetime, so I don't worry about them. Either way, Year, Month, Day makes it easier to organize files.
