String Theory Unravels New Pi Formula: A Quantum Leap in Mathematics
Researchers found a new series representation for pi while exploring string theory and particle interactions. Their formula is similar to one by Madhava in the 15th century. Combining the Euler-Beta Function and Feynman Diagram, they created an efficient model, revealing this new pi representatio
While investigating how string theory can be used to explain certain physical phenomena, scientists at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) have stumbled upon a new series representation for the irrational number pi. This way of representing complex interactions belongs to the category of “optimization problems.” Modeling such processes is not easy because there are several parameters that need to be taken into account for each moving particle – its mass, its vibrations, the degrees of freedom available for its movement, and so on. The series that Sinha and Saha have stumbled upon combines specific parameters in such a way that scientists can rapidly arrive at the value of pi, which can then be incorporated into calculations, like those involved in deciphering the scattering of high-energy particles.
