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.
