Physicists accidentally discovered a new way to represent the mathematical constant pi while studying high-energy physics in quantum theory. Aninda Sinha and Arnab Priya Saha from the Indian Institute of Science developed a new series representation of pi, making it easier to extract from calculations related to quantum scattering in particle accelerators. This method resembles a recipe, breaking down pi into components for quicker calculation. The researchers used a Feynman diagram to describe particle interactions efficiently, leading to a formula for pi similar to one proposed by an Indian mathematician in the 15th century. While the findings are theoretical, they could have practical applications in analyzing experimental data for hadron scattering and connecting with celestial holography. This work sheds light on understanding the complex nature of pi and its role in physics.
