Why does humanity continue to calculate pi even though they know it is infinity?

Pi isn't infinity, but they wish to know more and obtain the absolute answer.
How the hell is finding the absolute value of pi useful in anyway?

Is this question serious, or is it just to f*ck with you?

Why do all of your answers sound cryptic, like the answers are what you usually get by shaking a Magic 8-ball?

The observer witnessing the cryptic message is no proof that the message truly is cryptic in its essence. However, certain answers I would admit are cryptic for the purpose to lead you onto other questions.

This is the wrong reason, the only truth you will find in this term (in the way that I use) is hardly found on the internet.

I doubt it, partially because I use the term in an vague sense.


However, I must warn you once the definition is discovered, it will probably not help you understand that it truly means.

If God is always watching us, KNOWING what our next move would be, why punish us for it?  why create us in the first place if he knows we're going to make wrong decisions?

Also is it actually possible to sweat blood like Jesus does in the bible?

1) God does not know our next move as this knowledge cannot be known as definite. However, would you please define God.

2) Maybe, I dont find it relevant, but you can continue discussing it with me if you wish

2): Jesus was under great stress, because he knew excactly what the future would hold for him(I.E., dying on the cross). So it's possible that a person under that kind of stress can sweat blood, or has poor care of skin.

A man was to be sentenced, and the judge told him, "You may make a statement. If it is true, I'll sentence you to four years in prison. If it is false, I'll sentence you to six years in prison." After the man made his statement, the judge decided to let him go free. What did the man say?
