Take Pi, for instance. It is merely a relationship that exists between the circumference of a circle and the diameter. The relationship is calculated on ideal geometric forms which do not exist in Nature but only conceptually. Therefore, when we measure these aspects of an actual circle (or a wagon wheel) we never get Pi. We always get something else--and we would get something else even if we could measure with 100% accuracy...which we cannot.
