minus-squareILikeBoobies@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·edit-28 months agoPi is infinite so every combination/string of numbers is in there, if we calculated enough you could find a billion 2s next to each other You can look through the first trillion here https://archive.org/details/pi_dec_1t Though it’s a bunch of downloading
minus-squareGuest_User@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·8 months agoNot necessarily. It could just become a series of 1’s repeating forever. Nothing would require it to contain all strings of numbers.
minus-squarediverging@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·8 months ago It could just become a series of 1’s repeating forever If that happens in a number, then it is rational. Pi is not rational, so that will never happen in pi.
minus-squareILikeBoobies@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·8 months agoThe point of pi is that it’s non-repeating
minus-squareJenztsch@feddit.delinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·8 months agoTake a look at 0.101001000100001… This number is also non-repeating, but obviously doesn’t contain all numbers with finite digits. The property you’re looking for is called to be a normal number. Pi is assumed to be one, but it hasn’t yet been proven. However, in a sense this is an unremarkable property as almost all real numbers are normal. :)
