it is possible that beyond a certain digit all following digits just happen to be 0
the likelihood of this is infinitesimal but infinitesimal is not 0

99% of numbers are irrational. Believing pi isn't is irrational.

i can prove that jannies just removed my math and physics equation from the Science and Math board.

and it was actually a really good one too.

it was an equation showing something truly peculiar about the speed of light, but poof they just deleted it.

the proofs do not prove that pi could not just by random coincidence happen to repeat after a certain digit, its just infinitesimal probability because as per those proofs it would only be such if by random chance

it would still be on the archive even if moved boards. Why don't you want to share the actual post number? are you embarassed by your thread? or just LARPing? I'm gonna go with LARPing

Pi decimals never stop and never show a repeating pattern because it's an osculating wave front.

no because there is nothing stopping a decimal expansion from repeating by pure chance its just infinitesimal

As a simple counter example.
If pi at some point contains an infinite number of 0s it is rational
this is true not just in base 10, but base 1, 2, 11, etc
there are an infinite number of bases, so eventually one will exist where pi ends in an infinite number of 0
since the digits of pi are random, is is guaranteed to happen.

If a decimal expansion repeats then it represents a rational number.
Pi is proven to be an irrational number.
Therefore its decimal expansion is guaranteed to not repeat.
And this will be true in any base.

Repeats -> Rational
Not rational -> Doesn't repeat
Simple contrapositive

But since there are infinitely many digits, it's guaranteed that eventually one of those numbers won't be 0

Correct, [math]\pi[/math] is irrational. But what about [math]\pi^{\pi}[/math] ?
