Two things:

1. There is a Star Wars forum where you can post threads like this
2. There are over 3 of these threads in the Star Wars forum

The name of the Greek letter π is pi, and this spelling is used in typographical contexts where the Greek letter is not available or where its usage could be problematic. When referring to this constant, the symbol π is always pronounced like "pie" in English, the conventional English pronunciation of the letter.

The constant is named π because it is the first letter of the Greek words "περιφέρεια" (transliterated: periphereia; periphery in English) and "περίμετρον" (perimetron, perimeter). The Swiss mathematician Leonhard Euler proposed that this number be given a particular name and suggested the use of π.


The numerical value of π truncated to 50 decimal places is:

3.14159 26535 89793 23846 26433 83279 50288 41971 69399 37510

See the links below and those at sequence A00796 in OEIS for more digits.

With the 50 digits given here, the circumference of any circle that would fit in the observable universe (ignoring the curvature of space) could be computed with an error less than the size of a proton. Nevertheless, the exact value of π has an infinite decimal expansion: its decimal expansion never ends and does not repeat, since π is an irrational number (and indeed, a transcendental number). This infinite sequence of digits has fascinated mathematicians and laymen alike, and much effort over the last few centuries has been put into computing more digits and investigating the number's properties. Despite much analytical work, and supercomputer calculations that have determined over 1 trillion digits of π, no simple pattern in the digits has ever been found. Digits of π are available on many web pages, and there is software for calculating π to billions of digits on any personal computer. See history of numerical approximations of π.

The constant π is an irrational number; that is, it cannot be written as the ratio of two integers. This was proven in 1761 by Johann Heinrich Lambert.

Furthermore, π is also transcendental, as was proven by Ferdinand von Lindemann in 1882. This means that there is no polynomial with rational coefficients of which π is a root. An important consequence of the transcendence of π is the fact that it is not constructible. Because the coordinates of all points that can be constructed with compass and straightedge are constructible numbers, it is impossible to square the circle: that is, it is impossible to construct, using compass and straightedge alone, a square whose area is equal to the area of a given circle.

In Albert Einstein's theories of relativity time dilation is manifested in two circumstances:

* In special relativity, clocks that are moving with respect to an inertial system of observation (the putatively stationary observer) are found to be running slower. This effect is described precisely by the Lorentz transformations.

* In general relativity, clocks at lower potentials in a gravitational field-- such as in close proximity to a planet --are found to be running slower. This gravitational time dilation is only briefly mentioned in this article but is described elsewhere (see also gravitational red shift).

The account of the effect that is specific to Special Relativity is as follows. As viewed from the "stationary" reference system the clock slowdown due to relative speed is a "real" change in the time properties of the object under observation. Any and all such observations made from reference systems not co-moving with the object, will confirm this effect. The effect is reciprocal: as observed from the point of view of the system we have heretofore regarded as moving, it will be the other party's clocks that have slowed. (This description presumes that the relative motion of both parties is uniform; that is, they do not accelerate with respect to one another during the course of the observations.)

In contrast, gravitational time dilation (as treated in General Relativity) is not reciprocal: an observer at the top of a tower will observe that clocks at ground level tick slower, and observers on the ground will agree. Thus gravitational time dilation is agreed upon by all stationary observers, independent of their altitude.

The formula for determining time dilation in special relativity is:
http://upload.wikimedia.org/math/6/f/4/6f45558dba3897fa539167a0f7e8b4ac.png

where

Δ t0 is a measured time interval attributed to a "moving" clock,
Δ t is that same time interval as measured in the "stationary" system of reference,

http://upload.wikimedia.org/math/6/8/f/68ffd5985101d6e00c6e4d30d20a1763.png
is the Lorentz factor,
v is the relative speed between the clock and the stationary system, and
c is the speed of light.

Thus the duration of the clock cycle of a moving clock appears to be increased: it is "running slow." As indicated, the Lorentz transforms can be used for more general cases.

As shown, the effect increases in an exponential manner with respect to relative speed or gravitational differences. The range of such variances in ordinary life, even considering space travel, are not great enough to produce easily detectable time dilation effects, and such vanishingly small effects can be safely ignored. It is only when an object approaches speeds on the order of 30,000 km/s (1/10 of the speed of light), or lies deep within the gravitational "well" of massive stellar objects, that it becomes important.

Time dilation by the Lorentz factor was predicted by Joseph Larmor (1897), at least for electrons orbiting a nucleus. Thus "... individual electrons describe corresponding parts of their orbits in times shorter for the system in the ratio sqrt{1 - v^2/c^2}" (Larmor 1897). Time dilation of magnitude corresponding to this (Lorentz) factor has been experimentally confirmed, as described below.

Because of the humor style of the show, snippets of Peter's history prior to the start of the series are extremely ambiguous, simply because events are often shown simply for their humor value, with no thought put into whether or not it fit into continuity (ranging from Peter loitering for an extended period of time, to Peter having received a sex change, and even several with his apparent death).

Peter Griffin was born in Quahog, Rhode Island, around 1960, to Francis and Rose Griffin. He was baptized in the Roman Catholic faith as a baby, but did not grow up to be very devout.

According to Peter's doctor, Peter is a Cancer; more specifically he was born in July, meaning he was born between July 1 to July 22.

He was a member of the folk-singing group Simon & Garfunkel, where he pitched ideas for "Here's To You Mrs. Fleckenstein" and "Parsley, Sage, Rosemary, and Lawry's Seasoning Salt". When Simon & Garfunkel turned down these ideas he said "Screw you guys, I'm goin' to 'Nam".

During the Vietnam War, Peter participated on the American side. Instead of camouflage, he wore a bright clown's get-up, reasoning that "they're gonna be looking for Army guys.". Despite actually fighting in the war, he believes the Walter Cronkite hoax of the war never actually happened. (Though Peter fighting in the Vietnam War may have been a joke and not a real occurrence, as according to his age, he would only have been a child at the time.)

Around 1980, Peter worked at a country club/resort in Newport, RI, as a towel boy, where he met Lois Pewterschmidt, the daughter of a wealthy industrialist. Lois and Peter got to know each other better at a party for the resort employees that Lois sneaked off to. Peter dropped the girl he was dancing with to the floor and started dancing with Lois to "Do You Love Me?" by the Contours.

Her father, Carter, objected to Peter because he considered him to be of a lower social class, while Peter's father objected to Lois because of her religion. Carter tried to keep Lois and Peter apart by having his servants toss Peter out into the ocean. Unfortunately for Carter, Peter was rescued by a nearby Navy ship, aboard which Peter met his future neighbor, Glenn Quagmire. Glenn helped Peter pull into a port in Florida. There he met Cleveland Brown, another future neighbor, who gave him a ride back to Newport to Lois. Upon returning, Carter Pewterschmidt offered Peter a check for $1 million to not marry Lois, but Peter turned it down. When Peter and Lois got married, Francis Griffin (Peter's father) amended the "Just Married" banner to read "Just Married - to a Protestant whore."

Peter worked as a production line worker at the Happy-Go-Lucky Toy Factory since at least 1977, until the plant was torn down a couple of decades later, after owner Mr. Weed died.

When a toad-licking drug trend started at Meg's school, Peter went "undercover" as a Fonzie-inspired high school student under the name Lando Griffin (in part an homage to Lando Calrissian from Star Wars). Meg was at first mortified, but when Lando became cool by single-handedly turning the entire school off drugs, Meg asked him to the dance. Lando took Connie D'Amico to the dance instead, but declared that he had been rejected by Meg, and promised to kill himself by driving his motorcycle off a cliff. Ironically, Peter has himself tried a number of drugs, including LSD, marijuana, anabolic steroids, cocaine, ecstasy and opium.

After being laid off from the toy factory, Peter bought a boat and became a fisherman. When his boat sank during a trip to Pelican's Reef, Peter and his drinking buddies were stranded on an island for a number of months. Upon their rescue, Peter returned to Quahog to find that Lois had married Brian following his disappearance. Showing up naked at the Spooner Street house one day, he managed to win back the affections of Lois, who reached a mutual agreement to divorce Brian and remarry Peter.

Peter worked at the Pawtucket Patriot brewery for a few months, during which time he drank himself into a stupor in his first five minutes of working there. However, in an earlier episode, "Wasted Talent", the brewery was presented as a 'Willy Wonka' type factory, complete with 'Oompa Loompas' (Called 'Chumba Wumbas' in this episode). In the episode 'Wasted Talent' the brewery has restricted access, and Peter was thrown out.

Peter once played as a center in the New England Patriots as the number 68. He got chosen when he bulldozed at least eighty people trying to go to the bathroom, which Tom Brady liked. He was fired for his end-zone showboating at a game and was traded to the London Silly Nannies. Peter decided to get back at Brady, and called him to schedule a football game. As the kickoff started the whole London Silly Nannies left except for Peter who Tom Brady thought was a man to stand up to the entire New England Patriots.

In the movie, Peter became a local celebrity when he hosted an Action 5 News segment titled "What Really Grinds My Gears" (a reference to a line from Planes, Trains and Automobiles) in which he ranted on topics such as the lack of new priest and rabbi jokes, Lindsay Lohan's teasing, parents who don't control their children, not being able to find droids you're looking for (like the Imperial Stormtroopers in Star Wars), and people in the 19th century. He lost the job when Tom Tucker brought to the station a tape of Stewie driving while intoxicated.

Like Homer Simpson, Peter has had a wide variety of jobs. See List of Peter Griffin's jobs.


Personality

Peter's favorite pastime is watching television. His favorite shows include Star Trek, Three's Company, Happy Days, Joan of Arcadia, Gumbel 2 Gumbel, Who's the Boss and Lost.

Peter is insanely jealous of Lois' ex-boyfriends, and he will attack any man who expresses the slightest interest in her; he even punched an orca at Sea World after it "kissed" Lois, and his own reflection after Lois said, "Well, look at that handsome man!" Two notable exceptions to this include: upon learning that Lois had been sexually involved with Gene Simmons, a member of his favorite band, KISS, he was proud of her, even boasting, "my wife did KISS!" and that he "feels like did KISS too". Also, when the Griffin's neighbor Quagmire was caught peeping at Lois, Peter sided with Quagmire and told Lois she should take peeping as a compliment and to forgive him.

Sexuality

Although heterosexual, there have been a few throwaway jokes over the course of the series implying Peter is gay. However, it's possible that the fact of Peter's retardation as stated in the episode "Petarded" that plays a role in homosexual acts.
You don't say. hm

A barker may conduct a brief free show, introducing performers and describing acts to be given at the feature performance.

A barker is also a southern term for a prostitute in the UK.

Kevin Feige, the new president of production for Marvel Studios, says that the next Spider-Man movie, Spider-Man 3, will not be the last in the Spider-Man franchise.

"There will be many more Spider-Man films to come," Feige told MTV. "We already have stacks of ideas for the next one because of the wealth of stories in the comics. We could be making Spider-Man movies for the next 20 years, based on the 50 years of Spider-Man history we have."

"When you're concentrating on one movie at a time, there's a beginning and a middle and an end to that process," Feige said. "We've been topping each one as they go, that's the time for those discussions."

It is unclear whether Tobey Maguire and the rest of the cast will reprise their roles in future Spider-Man movies. Spider-Man 3 is currently scheduled for a May release.
