   Given that pi can be calculated in multiple ways as the sum of   
   mathematical converging infinite series, it's hard to see how that could   
   be... Archie Plutonium's "theories" notwithstanding.  Of course, that's   
   the mathematical constant, which can differ from the _physical_ value   
   (e.g. the ratio between the circumference and diameter of a circle)   
   depending on the curvature of space.
