# Comment on 'Pi in the Sky' by Frolop and Scott: They Lie

## TL;DR

This paper critically examines claims linking cosmic microwave background anomalies to pi digits, highlighting uncredited prior work and questioning the validity of the original claim.

## Contribution

It exposes the lack of attribution in Frolop and Scott's work and clarifies the historical origin of the idea connecting CMB anomalies to pi.

## Key findings

- Frolop and Scott's claim lacks proper attribution.
- The idea predates Frolop and Scott, originating with Joe Hill.
- The original proposal was later repudiated by Hill.

## Abstract

Frolop and Scott (2016) claim significant 1-1 correspondence between anomalies in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) and the digits of pi, which they call 'Pi in the Sky'. They have without attribution republished the famous work of Joe Hill (Hill 1911), who first proposed this idea, then repudiated it.
