Are mathematical constants (π, ethe golden ratio, etc.) natural or man made?  Pick one and explain

I’ll be explaining pi.

I think pi is natural. It was there before but we just hadn’t discovered it. The circumference divided by diameter will always equal pi if it is a perfect circle. It will always equal that. The only way it would be different would be if you measured in a different way but even then if you kept using the same system you would end with a differnt number but the ratio is the same.

It’s not man-made just man-discovered.

I’m sure you’ll discover more blogs here soon=)
