Abstract
Introduction
The equatorial radius of the Earth is 6378.137 km. Based on this radius the Astronomers have said the equatorial circumference as equal to 40,075.01667 km. They have simply used the classical formula 2πr , where, π is 3.14159265358…. (2×3.14159265358×6378.137 = 40,075.01667).
However,
discovered in March, 1998 says: 2× 3.146446609× 6378.137 = 40,136.93508 km. Thus, there is a difference of 61.91841 km. It means, what Astronomers are doing is, they have made the Earth smaller with its radius of 6378.137 km. Whose value is correct [1]?
Geometrical Proof
Let us draw a circle with radius “r”, another radius right angle to the first radius. On joining the two radii we get a chord whose length is 
[2].
Figure 1: Figure denotes to radius with two radii and is length.
Statement
Half chord subtracted 7radii is equal to the circumference of circle [3].
Circumference = 7 Radii-Half Chord. Let us now calculate the circumference of the Earth
Radius = 6378.137
Inference
The value of Astronomers does not agree by any way with the Geometrical Standards. Thus, the Astronomers made the Earth smaller by 61.91841 km at its equatorial circumference. The error should be rectified as early as possible. An opinion of a Space Engineer on the incorrectness of present value ‘3.14159265358…. with thanks for guidance from Wayne Thompson of ‘ The Measuring System of The Gos’ I now have my answer for pi http://www.jainmathemagics.com/page/10/default.asp
Pi does not equals to 3.141592
I have always been suspicious of pi and the value we have been forced tu use as in determining pi for something to wrap around a cylinder was always that little bit shorter than calculated. There is a book available at the above site but is A$60 but the above gives you an initial idea as to what is involved.
NASA, I should have remembered back in my tacking days that pi had been changed to accommodate entry and exit of spacecraft using a Planet for sling-shot accelleration to the next Planet (Voyager) but I never thought too much about that in those days. This now needs to be applied to our Coils but we need to now know exactly which pi to use for that condition. Different conditionsdifferent pi, more on this as it comes to hand.
