A circle has a 360 degrees and the pi that describes a circle always produces
new fraction numbers. Can we relate 360 degrees with a pi and why does it never end
producing new numbers? 

Can one reason be that the cycle of the circle is in constant motions. It
needs no external output. It won't break or we can never get the ultimate 
value of a pi?

It was quite arbitrary to choose 360 degrees for the circle (a quirk of history) but PI is the same for everyone in the Universe.
PI is not a 'fraction'. It cannot be expressed as the ratio of two integers and neither can it be expressed as the solution of a simple algebraic equation so it's more than just an irrational number - like 'root two'. It is a transcendental number, just like e.  It is   --   just PI! and it comes into many bits of Maths with no particular reference to circles, either.
Beware of getting involved in numbers, too much.
They can make you believe in magic if you're not careful.

Pi is exactly 3!

pi is not infinite as spme people have come to believe. only a few things are infinite in this universe. dividing by zero and thought/ conscience.   

[science_guy]

then again, seeing that thought and concience is indeed possible, would that not suggest that dividing by zero somehow produces a believeable result?

perhaps the fourth dimention is i/0 []

[caboose17]

the fourth dimension is well believed to me time so i think what you mean is the fifth dimension and the answer being no because a dimension cannot be a number.

How can PI be infinite? It is greater than three and less than three point two.
Dividing by zero is not infinity, it's just indeterminate. No one who actually knows Maths would make such a statement. You can produce absolutely nonsensical answers if you are as cavalier as that with your mathematical processes!

[science_guy]

well actually, the definition of pi is circumference over diameter. the ratio always translates into 3.14... yada yada yada.

the reason we dont know what it is for sure is because the circumference is kind of hard to measure accurately, so we dont get an accurate number for pi

[Madidus_Scientia]

Was just joking btw. Here is the real value of pi, but only to 4 million digits or so. http://zenwerx.com/pi.php

Pi is pretty close to 3, but 3! is exactly 6.
"the reason we dont know what it is for sure is because the circumference is kind of hard to measure accurately, so we dont get an accurate number for pi"
We do know what it is, it's pi. We calculate it as the sum of a series or some such. The series is infinite so you can never finish the calculation. On the other hand you can get any desired degree of accuracy given enough time. The accuracy with which we can measure circles has nothing to do with it.
Pi is finite in the sense that it's less than 4. On the other hand pi, expressed as a decimal number is infinite- it has an infinite number of places of decimals. This is related to the issue of "squaring the circle" and has been proven to be true. Caboose17 is, therefore, talking out of his hat.

You cannot say that 'infinite' means the same as 'represented as the ratio involving a number of infinite length'. That is very loose terminology and not worthy of serious mathematical analysist. It is a number which CANNOT be represented by the ratio of two numbers or as the solution to an algebraic equation. It's part of the set of Number and you can always find two rational numbers whose magnitudes lie on either side of it. That's all.
We could consider a whole set of numbers which are multiples of PI and ratios which involve PI. They would sit in equally inaccessible points on the 'number line' / set of real, rational numbers. Take two rational numbers, as close together as you like and you can find a number, calculated using transcendental numbers which fits between them. There is nothing more 'normal' about the numbers we know and love than all the other ones.
The fact that there is a particular geometrical relevance to PI is only a small part of PI's persona.

The pi implies that we can never draw a perfect circle!

[lyner]

Of course you can't. It's going to be full of knobbly atoms, for a start.
Maths isn't  real life. It's just a tool, fun though it may be for some.

[SFMA (OP)]

The Pi certainly beckons us on further. For example it's impossible to conclude a circle there is always be a subtle slit remaining.

Why is a circle like it is? Until the final answer rests on the finding of its ultimate value what's concrete is its infinity. While the nature is finite it's this infinite stake that she has to place for a possible intersect with the infinite original matter is sensible.

[science_guy]

thats like saying that you can never finish a clap... It can be done, but we just dont know the whole formula []

[SFMA (OP)]

Well the mankind have been calculating pi for over 3500 years. We are still
to discover a pattern in its endless fractions that curiously never repeats.
The destination is yet to be reached!

By the way circle is the most beautiful shape the nature has. The pi
alone can not determine it.

[science_guy]

pi is actually just a ratio.

The definition of a circle is all points with a given distance, the radius, from a given point, the center.
