Mathbabble

I agree that it was nice to see a woman of the mathematical persuasion, and although Chris' patented MathBabble(tm) did its job and completely nauseated me and thus prevented any enjoyment of seeing a living breathing mathbabe on NEXP, I was surprised to hear about her new-agey theory that if she could just calculate pi to a few more godzillion places, she'd get "a message from beyond" or whatever, since this is the kernel of the plot of the Carl Sagan novel "Contact":[…]
