Re: Gravity and pi



Hello Sam:

No, that's the conversion factor you use when calculating how
many years it *feels* like you've been a grad student.

John,

What I remember is that the number of seconds in a year is about pi
times ten to the minus seven. Nice when doing calculations especially
for rates of processes in colliders (even though you only really take
data for max one quarter of that time).

Hello all:

Don't forget that pi seconds is a nanocentury.
