The semester is starting back up and i'm terrible at speaking words.

This doesn't have to be aimed at college students, just conversation starters anywhere would be very much appreciated.

That has nothing to do with either g or pi. Also this definition is long outdated.

    t = 2pi*sqrt(m/(mg/l)) is the pendulum formula, it directly calls pi and g. it's outdated, yes, but it's really close to what we currently use as a meter. and the fact that it's really close made it easier to switch to the new meter basis.
