Since school, we know that the number π has an infinite number of digits after the decimal point. And therefore, sooner or later any combination of numbers will be found in it, for example, your phone number, or the full date of your birthday.

And although it is impossible to fully calculate the number Pi, with the growth of computing capabilities, the number of calculated digits of the number π also increased. It even turned into a certain competition and records are set one after another.

More is better

Everyone knows that

but behind those three dots there is an infinite number of numbers and their sequences.

The current world record for calculating Pi belongs to To Timothy Mullikenwho in January 2020 calculated and made it freely available 50 trillion digits after comma The calculations lasted almost a year! You can download his files and search for your phone number there. However, you will need 40 terabytes of free disk space for this.

Pi music

Do you know how Pi sounds? Musicians have long guessed to translate numbers into notes and create music from the number Pi. Some added more complex algorithms to the conversion and got really impressive results.

At this link, you can try out how the number Pi sounds, change the key, tempo, etc. Interestingly, at a tempo of 314 beats per minute, to play 50 trillion notes would take approx. 302,758 years!

And here are examples of more complex conversion algorithms:

31.4 trillion pictures from the number of Pi

With this link you can create a real work of art in seconds. A special algorithm creates an image from a sequence of digits of Pi. In addition, it creates different pictures depending on which number to start counting from. If you don’t find your phone number in the sequence of already calculated Pi digits, you can at least make a picture of it.

How to create your own picture from any number or word?

We also decided to have a little fun and create a picture from the name of our site — DAYTODAY. Why did we first turn the letters into numbers (you can do it here), and already created such a picture from the numbers. Try it yourself, it’s fun!
