They never claimed that it was an [earth shattering new way to calculate digits of pi](https://youtu.be/2lvTjEZ-bbw?t=44). And I can tell you it is not. I have struggled to get it to produce 2000 digits in a reasonable amount of time (~25 mins).

But the fact that they saw this side-effect of their research into aspects of *string theory*, in my opinion, brings credence and validation to their work because they recognized this hidden jewel in the formula that was taking shape.

In my opinion, it demonstrates the level of analysis and review was above and beyond.

I found while profiling the Python code that it is certainly the right language to evaluate these kinds of series with simple syntax. In at least one of them (Gosper's), the individual terms were getting to ~4,000 integer digits long! Wow. I had no idea.

> I have gained new appreciation for Python's int type.
And while I did not get to 1,000,000 digits of π with the Saha / Sinha algorithm, I learned a lot - including pochhammer mark (rising factorial) - something to which I had not been exposed before. A very cool byproduct of physics research, but too computationally complex for me to go much further than a couple thousand digits for a hobby project.

I greatly appreciate the fact that they shared that side-effect of the research they were doing. And I sincerely hope the weird reaction from the press that they experienced will not prevent them from sharing unexpected mathematical advancements in the future. Physicists and mathematicians working together - awesome!
