Rhapsody on the Proof of Pi = 4

Correction: when I mark where pi is on the graph, I meant pi/2!
Note: If this video were supposed to be teaching you, I'd probably have to make it boring and say that in one sense of limits, spoiler alert, you actually do approach a circle and a line, solving the apparent paradox by saying that the invariant of length does not hold over infinity. Luckily I am an artist, and this is a Rhapsody, and instead of "learning," you get to actually think, if you like.

In maths, lines have no thickness.

Bam. Got it: infinity equals negative zero. You're welcome, math.

But if pi equals four, doesn't tau have to equal eight?

[HippoTNT]

havent watched yet but if Pi is 3.14... then because of the 3.1 doesn't it round down to 3 so Pi = 3

[PandasHuggingPonies]

at least it still has finite length. Brownian motion, for instance, does not.

[oetelaar3]

but what if you do the process of taking squares out of a square until you reach the Planck length?

I started thinking about string theory in the end...

And yet there is such a thing as a "space-filling curve."
