Dr Kevin Houston who believes that the formula for PI is incorrect -Pictured at Leeds university. The mathematical constant pi is under threat from a group of detractors who mark "Tau Day" on 28th June. Tau Day revellers suggest a constant called tau should take its place: twice as large as pi, or about 6.28 - hence the 28 June celebration. Tau proponents say that for many problems in maths, tau makes more sense and makes calculations easier. ? Bethany Clarke / eyevine
