Crop Circle Depicts Pi – A new crop circle in England depicts pi, an essential math formulation, accurately to ten decimal places in a huge crop circle near Barbury Castle, an Iron Age fort.
The crop circle depicts pi mystery was solved by astrophysicist Mike Reed who said it “clearly shows a coded image representing the first ten digits of Pi - the ratio of the circumference of a circle to the diameter.”
“The tenth digit of pi in the crop circle at Banbury Castle has even been correctly rounded up. ‘The little dot near the centre is the decimal point. The code is based on ten angular segments, with the radial jumps being the indicator of each segment.”
After working out the sequence, Mr Reed produced the accompanying diagram. The image is an example of what is known as a fractal, or geometric pattern.
Fractals have been a staple of crop circle designs for many years, the most well known being the Mandelbrot Set or the Julia Set, which appeared 12 years ago in Avebury Trusloe, Wiltshire.
No evidence of human constuction was found at the Banbury Castle crop circle which measures 165 yards across and accurately depicts pi to ten decimal places.
And that’s the latest news on the crop circle depicts pi.

The truth is out there?
Like we should live appropriately so as to enjoy an other life?

[...] JREF, we don’t talk about crop circles very much. They’re still out there, in fact an interesting new one that depicts Pi was recently discovered. But ever since people started coming forward to admit that they’d created [...]

Pretend for a second that this was created by alien lifeforms. The fact that they counted the numbers correctly is not much of a surprise (assuming they too base their system on 10 digits), but the chance that they too would use an identical decimal point character is very, very slim. Sure, you could say that they studied our writing system in advance, but, c’mon… really? Point goes to humans.

I dont see why people have to be so skeptical. I mean how can you actually believe that in the vastness of our universe, that there is no other life out there? It is absolutely possible, and in my opinion true, that other planets out there are currently supporting extraterrestrial life. We can’t know exactly how advanced they are, but just because we don’t have the technology to visit planets outside of our solar system, doesn’t mean they don’t. Please people, try to be a little open-minded.

I am a skeptic. But I am also in awe of the vastness of the universe and am more than willing to believe in other life on other planets. I agree it is absolutely possible and actually hope that it is so. But as we skeptics like to say, extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Crop circles were so bizarre when they were first discovered, alien artists were as likely as anything else. But now that hoax masters have come forward explaining their techniques, the question is reduced to “which is more likely?” Aliens COULD have rocketed here in faster-than-light-speed spacecraft to create crop art & then go hide. Or it could be humans that weren’t caught. Personally, I’ll look to SETI for a bit harder evidence while I try to keep an open mind.

This image is not a fractal, it has nothing to do with fractals, please do not use the word “fractal” as a synonym for “cool-looking and mathematical”.
By why don’t the aliens simply text us, if they want to send a message?

And for that matter, if Jesus loves me and died for my sins, why can’t he text me too, rather than leaving cryptic messages in scrolls written by ancient goatherds?

“No evidence of human constuction was found at the Banbury Castle crop circle…”
What!? The Banbury Castle crop circle IS evidence of human construction.

I agree with the previous post regarding the use of the term “fractal”. As a quasi-expert on fractal/sacred geometry, I see no correlation here between this crop formation and fractals in general. People may become confused with this sort of misnomer.

has anyone found out why the pi formula of 3.141592654, is equal to 129600? research the history of this number! it is in Multiple locations, including Stone Henge.

it’s actually 3.1415925635…
they rounded ’35′ up to 4, but then included the ellipsis. it’s not accurate.

Well of course they’re going to round up….it’s an infinite # you tool.

Humbling….I wish I understood what it all means.

In the color coded diagram, where it shows this Pi sequence, (╥=3.141592654…). I have discovered it’s true meaning! Using this System of A=6, B=12, C=18, and then adding any, and all words to get numbers, I found that every single symbol and letter within this Pi presentation, each individually adds to the number of 666, by using the term Pi. There are 4, and yet there are 7.
I have also discovered that that the word Pi, the letters P and I, thru this system, add to the number 150. OK, How large, in Diameter, is this “Formation” of Pi? To be Exact, 150ft!!
If indeed this formation was actually made by man, then those that designed and constructed it, have absolutely no clue of what it’s true meaning is. or why it was put it there, (There is so much MORE here, no one see’s). “Look to where there is nothing, and you will find Everything”.

The Mayan Calender length has been proven to be Exactly 3,114 years, which ends at the end of 2012. Dec. 21, 2012 to be exact. So 3,114+2,012 = 5,126. A total of 5126 years!! In the Pi Sequence, (3.141592653…), and beginning after the decimal point, the number of 5126, Amazingly first shows up, and get this, at Precisely, the 2012 spot.
Can anyone explain this??
January 12th, 2011 at 8:59 am
Moderator: I apologize, My last post was incorrect.
The Mayan Calendar Beginning has been proven to be at Exactly 3,114 years BC, which also has been proven to end, at the end of 2012. (Dec. 21, 2012) to be Exact! So 3,114+2,012=5,126. A total of 5,126 year length. In the PI sequence, (3.141592653…), and Beginning after the decimal point, the number 5126, Amazingly first shows up, and get this, at Precisely the 2012 spot.

I have shown you that the word May, in gematria, is equal 234; and that from three equal dates using 234, I got the same answer!! Adding 234 years from May First 1776, equals May First 2010. Adding 234 days from September Nineth 2009, also equals May First 2010. And Subtracting 234 days from December TwentyFirst, 2010, also equals May First 2010.
(6*6*6*6 =1296), or (36*36=1296). The first 10 digits of Pi (3.141592654…), also multiplied one after another, equals (129600). 100 * 1296(3*.1*4*1*5*9*2*6*5*4=129600). So, from September Nineth 2011, adding 234 days equals April Thirtieth 2012. So, adding 234 days plus 1, equals May First 2011. In the Pi sequence of numbers, the number 2341 shows up at Exactly the 1296 spot!! Study Hard!!
So Again, 3,114 years B.C. (which is the Mayan begin Calendar), and 2012 A.D. ( is the Mayan end Calendar). Adding both these dates together, thus equals 5126. A grand total of 5,126 years in length. Again, back to the Pi sequence. The number 5126 first shows up at Exactly the 2012 spot!! Can anyone, and I mean Anyone, Explain these answers.
Here is another answer that I have Found! Someone is trying to rewrite history by changing the Astrological Chart of 12 Zodiac signs to 13 Zodiac signs! It’s not going to work!! All through my life, and of course, many thousands of years before that, Taurus has always been in the last few weeks of April, and the First few weeks of May. Out of all twelve Zodiac signs, Taurus is the only Zodiac that totals to the number of 600. in Gematria. Now, (check this out)! Subtracting 600 days from December TwentyFirst, 2012, Is———–May First 2011. (And I Stress again)!! May First, in Gematria, is the only month and day out of 12 months and 365 days, that equals, and totals to the number of 666.
Everything You See Here In This Math Interpretation Of Pi, Is Exactly 666, Using This Gematria System Of A=6, B=12, C=18, D=24, E=30, F=36, G=42, H=48, I=54,J=60, K=66, L=72, M=78, N=84, O=90, P=96, Q=102, R=108, S=114, T=120, U=126, V=132, W=138, X=144, Y=150, and Z=156…………….. (╥=3.141592654…) “What you see first is the symbol, the “Pi Symbol”, which = 666, What you see second is the equaling sign, “Pi Equaling”, which = 666, What you see third is the formula, the “Pi Formula”, which = 666, and fourth you see the three dots, represneting infinite quality, “Pi Infinite”, which also = 666. Again!!!! Can —AnyOne —Explain —This!!!
February 14th, 2011 at 8:07 am
For those that might be Interested! The two letters of P & I, in the Greek word of PI, Stand for Personalized Identification. And do Note: 666 comes from a Greek word, as it is written

hmmmm….seems like an awful lot of people have a passionate opinion about this, boith pro and con. I suppose the old adage “let’s agree that we disagree” would seem appropriate here, no? I, myself, am personally counting the days until global enlightenment ushers our race onto the next plane. I will see all of you that embrace this viewpoint soon enough! Peace and love to all.
