This animation shows the irrationality of pi through the rotation of two rods, each with a constant but different speed. Despite the intricate patterns they create, the rotations never perfectly align, highlighting pi's infinite, non-repeating decimal nature. This emphasizes the impossibility of expressing pi as a ratio of two integers, a key characteristic of irrational numbers. The perpetual near-miss between the rotations of the inner and outer rods, evident at moments like 22/7 and 355/113, well-known approximations of pi, further emphasizes the fascinating and unattainable nature of expressing pi as a simple fraction. This visual representation contributes to the richness of mathematical exploration, showcasing the captivating complexity of pi's irrationality.
