I heard Neil DeWeed Tyson explain they only use pi a few digits out though because it doesn’t need to be that specific… let me see if I can find the video.

Found this not looking for the video now lol

Not sure if I misunderstood what you said, but it's not that they only use a few digits because it doesn't need to be that specific, they only use a few digits because that's all that is needed to be that specific.

Yes

Edit : which is way cool because they need pi to make the calculations and we all know how pi is never ending.
