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 6 months 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.

[-] Bumblefumble@lemm.ee 4 points 6 months ago

Yes, but it's not guaranteed that it will.

[-] Gladaed@feddit.de 4 points 6 months ago

Are you sure? I thought we did not know if it was guaranteed or not.

[-] embed_me@programming.dev 4 points 6 months ago

It's guaranteed that we can't know the actual answer

[-] Zerush@lemmy.ml 3 points 6 months ago

Yes, also the answer to life, the universe, and everything, because of this old religous people hide it in using instead 3 16/113
