Too relatable, sadly. I’m here if you want to talk.

Ah ok, I see. Well I want to be clear, if someone is interested in reading, don’t be deterred by this, make your own opinion. My wife and I loved every book. I really liked Amos’ trajectory especially.

To touch on how I interpreted your points in the story (CONTAINS SPOILERS AND I DON’T KNOW HOW TO HIDE THEM):

-It pointed out the higher dimension beings couldn’t actually pinpoint anything in our spacetime unless a huge amount of energy was released at the exact moment we crossed their dimension through the gates. -It seemed to me that everyone was scared of duarte and even more scared of modifying themselves with protomolecule after his “coma” where he killed someone instantly. -I think I remember the Laconians basically being arrogant and underestimating everyone.

I hear that you have a different opinion and maybe you got burnt out on the books, but I really hope the show finishes them up because I enjoyed them.

What didn’t you like about them?

Like what? An infinite decimal that seems random that we can calculate down to more and more precision?

That’s pretty easily answerable, if that’s what you’re asking. Pi is how we measure the circumfrence of a circle, amoung other things. But a circle has no edges. So how can we use numbers to calculate the infinitely smooth line of a circle with no corners if numbers inherently make precise, “edged” digits?

You use an infinite number. Precisely, Pi, which we calculated by taking the circumference of a circle and dividing it by the diameter. The more precise we can measure the circumference and diameter, the more digits of pi we can get. The more digits of Pi we get, the more accurately we can measure the circumference of a different circle we don’t already know.

TDLR: Pi is like that because circles don’t have edges, so we need a number that doesn’t end, otherwise when we calculate a circle and, say, put it into a computer, it’ll have little edges. The less numbers of Pi we have, the more noticeable and numerous the circles’ edges. Its like the difference between having a screen with more or less pixels.
