Personally I got BEEF with 841
Irrational numbers kinda yank my chain.
Pi for instance
A circle definitely has a certain circumference
Though we have yet to solve for pi
And then 1/3 is a third
And not .333... indefinitely
Sq root of 2
Well the same
I'm no mathematician
But I suspect it is a matter of translation
Between one system
And another.

Fun fact: in bas 3, one third is just 0.1.
Chaitin's constant is the worst in my opinion.
@CoffeeBeanKiller
Thank you. You seem quite well informed. I wasn't aware of that constant ( conjecture ,maybe).
It seems to imply computation must ultimately collapse and there is a limit to numerical analysis as and such is doomed to fail.
Interesting thing abt pi. It's irrational in all bases

Irrationality is independent of the basis though :)
Anything that's worse than 0 ?
Add it to something, nothing happens.
Multiply it to something, it destroys everything.
Divide by it, and you're suddenly in error-city.
Power by it, everything is reduced to 1.
Put it into a polynomial, and you can forget about all the coefficients, except the constant.
Put it into sin(x), get nothing else.
Put it into cos(x), get a boring one.
Put it into log(x), get a nightmare.
An angle of 0º is just nothing.
Any physical unit with 0 denotes the non-existence of any imaginable thing.
Maybe we should remove the 0 altogether and at least have something.
And, by the way, since we are playing chess, who wants to be on the side of the 0 if the result is 1-0 or 0-1?
I sincerely vote for zero as the worst number before going to sleep. I mean it. Zero activi....

Yes, I believe he had an irrational liking to the number 3
Well ig 1
Is the loneliest number
Not the worst by any means
But definitely lonely
And alone...
