We just need to know 62 digits of π to calculate the circumference of the current observable universe to the accuracy of the Planck length. Since the Universe is expanding, supposing it doesn't stop expanding, how many digits of π would we need during the time when the last black hole fades?

Is the speed in which cortical neurons fire also logarithmic (the same way the eyes and ears function in a logarithmic scale)?
