We discuss the mystery of pi (the ratio of a circle to its diameter) and how it relates to the planet Mercury, the fine structure constant in physics, and the ratio of masses of the proton to the electron. Scott Onstott and Geoff Fitzpatrick explore the relationship coincidence has in the real world as a pointer to something ideal or Platonic underlying the fabric of reality.
