>not using Tau

If we ever encounter extraterrestrial life and try to communicate 'pi' to them, they're going to think we're fucking retards incapable of help

>>	Anonymous Wed Apr 6 07:56:32 2011 No.2840616 I think that the extraterrestial life would actually be much more amused by the fact that we use base 10.

>Thinking one is superior over the other

If we ever encounter extraterrestrial life and try to communicate one to them while excluding the other, they're going to think we're fucking retards incapable of help, especially considering we can get one by just multiplying/diving the other by two, so there's no excuse.
