I assumed the pi / g connection was because cows that accelerate in a vacuum are spherical.


According to the Banach–Tarski paradox, if you accept the Axiom of Choice, you can disassemble a spherical cow and put the parts back together such that you end up with two cows of the original size. How exactly this affects Cow Economics is not well-understood.


I think it was Gauss who proved that any convex cow would work equally well. But we need to assume an infinitesimally thin and infinitely long tail as boundary condition.
