 248/-! ## π in Physics -/
 249
 250/-- π appears throughout physics:
 251
 252    1. **Circles**: C = 2πr (definition)
 253    2. **Spheres**: V = (4/3)πr³
 254    3. **Gaussian**: ∫exp(-x²)dx = √π
 255    4. **Quantum**: ℏ = h/(2π)
 256    5. **Relativity**: Schwarzschild radius = 2GM/(πc²) (no, 2GM/c²)
 257
 258    In RS, π appears because of 8-tick circular geometry. -/

 266/-! ## Deep Question -/
 267
 268/-- Why is π transcendental?
 269
 270    π is not the root of any polynomial with integer coefficients.
 271
 272    This means π cannot be constructed with compass and straightedge alone.
