<HTML>Hi John et al:
I would like you to consider the age old problem of squaring the circle. The mathematical proofs against it are just that, mathematical proofs. However the point does indeed exist. There is a point on any circle where if a square is drawn through it we will get the square whose perimeter is that which equals the circumference. The problem we encounter is trying to mark or plot this point. This is an impossibility, however one can visualize it in one's mind and here is how. Imagine if you will two circles of equal radii sitting exactly on top of one another. I would like you to pull one of them to your left and one of them to your right. At some point the intersection of their circumferences will indeed mark this point which would mark the point of the "squaring". Now my posting was "Pi is in the Sky". Where do you think one could see this very thing happening John ? Well if you have not already guessed it I would suggest next time you watch a solar eclipse think about this little thought experiment. At some point during the eclipse this point is approached, reached for just an instant of time, and then lost again. Is this why the ancients put such great store in solar eclipses ? If you believe in the gods Pi and Phi you would have to say YES !
