realitivity.... pi can be any number if you take it from the right angle. even (as the bible says) 3. i'm not a physics ace or anything, but i have some friends who speak nothing but physics-ese who try to make me smart.

I'm gonna invent a new type of computer that uses every digit (0-9) instead of just 1's and 0's . . . and then try and open Pi in Notepad, to see what happens.-connorkimbro

orange be careful
as i said that particular string only seems special to you and us but in fact there is NOTHING particular about it
just like the number 123456789 may seem like a special number but try writing it in base 13 and tell me whats special about it
that string you mentionned will appear like any other one
theres nothing special about such a string apperaing if theres nothing more special infinetly afterwards

Just one thing about pi... Because of its nature, it's inevitable that an approximation of pi, when being calculated to infinite lengths, will seem to repeat itself - twice, thrice, three billion times, Graham's number times, all but infinitely. True? I assume there is a good reason to say that pi isn't a rational number... err...

i recall reading something about this but i would check
pi's decimals are pseudo random thats for sure
I THINK its been proven than all irrationnal number's decimal expnasion must contain all finite string of numbers.
let me get back on this
I am however sure that not all irrationel numbers contains all strings. Remember that rationel numbers written as decimals repeat at some point (easy to see when you make the division). Take the number 0,1010010001... , which does not repeat itself and so is not rationel, ie it is irrational. But it does not contain the string "9".http://www.hardware-wiki.com - A wiki about computers, with focus on Linux support.

I read too that pi had the property that any finite string occurs somewhere.
