What do you make of this?

this debate has been going on for ages. Maybe more mathematically pretty but i don't think most people really care and it will change so many computations and coursework for all ages.

The general consensus will be CBF just like conventional current and other anomalies before it.

an easy way to impress the mathematically uneducated

Still pretty cool, but won't help efficiency that much

LOL pi isn't wrong, it is right, this is a matter of definitions, all you're doing is defining tau = 2pi, what's so hard about writing an extra '2' -_-

NOOO. I don't have enough Greek letters as is. Don't take away more symbols for these constants.

(let's face it, two alphabets simply isn't enough, especially when half of the Greek alphabet is already taken up by constants and special operators.)

That's what I was thinking. Though I guess it does line up stuff like 1/4th of a circle to be tau/4 instead of pi/2.
That really isn't a big deal though. Other than that I didn't see much of an advantage in switching stuff around.

I think I read this in the mX (of all places). It's just a case of the nooby tauists trying to outdo us pi-ists.

Anyways, 'Rohittau' has a double 't', so 'pi' it is
