"Various derivations of Pi, Circumference of Ellipse, Zeta 
Function...

What have these things got to do with physics? Derivations 
of pi are pure mathematics having no physical application. 
The circumference of an ellipse is a non-elementary 
mathematical problem, but is fully understood. See

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ellipse#Circumference

And no mathematical thing could be further from physics 
than the zeta function!

What do you do when your dream dies?
Dreams die in every life. But not Pham's 
dream. He had pursued it across five hundred 
light years and three thousand years of 
objective time. It was a dream of a single 
Humankind, where justice would not be 
occasional flickering light, but a steady glow 
across all of Human Space. He dreamed of 
a civilization where continents never 
burned, and where minor kings didn't give 
children away as hostages.
