Today's Value for Pi Is Incorrect

About this ebook
This paper proves that the value of pi cannot be infinite. The ancient Greeks and today's mathematicians have used a circle of infinite points. But in three dimensional reality (the world we live in) an infinite distance cannot exist between two objects and a straight line cannot be infinite. This essay shows how these concepts are used to limit pi to a finite value.

Throughout the history of mathematics, it has been found that infinity can be tricky, in fact, very, very tricky. And, considering this essay, when working with infinity you must be aware that in three-dimensional reality, a.k.a. the real, material world, or the world we live in, infinity cannot exist between two points.
It is always important to distinguish what can exist only in the imagination from what exists simultaneously in the imagination and in the real world. Since pi is used to represent real, material objects, it cannot be infinite.
To prove that infinity cannot exist between two points in the real world—the imagination, three-dimensional reality, mathematics, and logic will be used:
Consider two objects in space. They start traveling away from each other faster and faster, but no matter how fast they go nor how long they travel there will never
