Can maths nerds answer this?

The digits of Pi are infinite and non-repeating, would that mean the digits can contain sequences that correspond to the binary representation of the entire Wikipedia?

[–] Sekoia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 1 year ago

Yes and no. Pi is assumed to be normal, which means that any non-infinite sequence happens in pi. However, the digits of 0.1011011101111011111... are infinite and non-repeating, and yet you'll never see a 00 or a 2.
