\(c\) And \(\pi\)

\(\psi\) is circular  It is wrapped around a circle of perimeter \(2\pi r\), where \(r\) is the radius from the particle center, travelling at light speed \(c\).  On every cycle of period \(T=\frac{1}{f}\), it traveled once along the perimeter and has rotated by \(2\pi\) rad.  It is then better to redefine light speed with consideration for the value of \(\pi\),

\(c=\pi*10^8\)

instead of

\(c=2.99792458*10^8\)

such that \(r\) is defined/measured without the uncertainty associated with the value of \(\pi\).

\(\pi\) at light speed will be quite a splat.
