Why some people (mathematicians mostly) say that "pi is the answer for everything"? What does it mean or is it just a metaphor?

>is it just a metaphor?
No, it's literally the answer to everything. Every single constant can be reduced to pi.

Justin Gray
No mathematician ever said that, the closest thing will have been a math undergrad who will probably drop out.
Aiden Reyes
More like e
Ryder Scott
More like 1
Isaiah Cruz
More like zero. After all, homogenous equations are b e s t.

It is a retarded metaphor, pi is just a number.
It has interesting properties though. Pi's existence directly implies that there does not exist a circle with both rational diameter and circumference.
In other words, pi generates many (relevant) irrational numbers and maybe that is what they meant when they say it is the answer to everything... but it isn't.
Landon Morris
what a fucking meme
most integrals can be reduced to spherical or cilindrical coordinates which then end in some pi shit
it's like saying e is the answer for everything (yes you moron, it's the answer for all the diff eq course)
Connor Wilson
This is incorrect. The answer is 42.
