+138 If pi is as infinite as people are saying, then if you think about, it must start to repeat itself eventually. amirite?

Eventually certain parts might repeat, the probability of the whole thing repeating is pretty much 0

Its an irrational number. I can't, and never will, repeat itself.

That doesn't make any sense. It's an infinite sequence of completely random numbers, basically. The entire sequence is not going to start repeating itself, it's nearly impossible.

this is tricky to wrap your mind around. i think OP is right; if it's infinite, eventually it will run through all possible sequences/orders of number 0-9, and eventually it will repeat. or no?

For the number to repeat in math terms that means that at some point it will start with a sequence of numbers that continues forever. Like all the sudden it starts going 1212121212 (the sequence being 12, however it can be much longer that 2 digits, that's just an example) but that repeating sequence must continue on FOREVER, if the number goes 121212128 then it's not repeating anymore. It would be very improbable for pi to jump into a repeating sequence that continues forever... I hope my explanation makes a tiny bit of sense

It is very confusing, but picture this: Numbers can go on forever. We only give names to the ones we use. There is no possible way that it can run out of sequences for numbers, because they go on forever and ever. You could have 33333333333 then 333, 33333333333 is a different number than 333, but they have the same numbers. Also, you could go on with 123456789 forever, but it is only repeating itself if you choose to see it that way. It could be 123456789123456789123456789, or it could be 123456789 repeating three times. Whatever it is, it is not possible for it to repeat, as it is not possible to "run out of numbers".

I know eighty digits. 3.1415926535897932384626433832795028841971693993751058209749445923078164062862089986280 Word tells me this is 87 digits. And no, I didn't copy paste, even though I cannot prove it.

I think that the infinite monkey theorem applies here. Infinity is a difficult thing to conceive.
