Scientists are a famously anonymous lot, but few can match in the depths of her perverse and unmerited obscurity the 20th-century mathematical genius Emmy Noether.
She is the most important mathematician who ever happened to physics. Even if this sentence doesn’t make sense.

The Tau Manifesto by Michael Hartl
Tau Day, 2010Welcome to The Tau Manifesto. This manifesto is dedicated to one of the most important numbers in mathematics, perhaps the most important: the circle constant relating the circumference of a circle to its linear dimension. For millennia, the circle has been considered the most perfect of shapes, and the circle constant captures the geometry of the circle in a single number. Of course, the traditional choice of circle constant is π—but, as mathematician Bob Palais notes in his delightful article “π Is Wrong!”, π is wrong. It’s time to set things right.
Its such a geeky thing, I’m aboard!
Fun fact about tau day:
Since 6 and 28 are the first two perfect numbers, 6/28 is actually a perfect day.
