You are correct here, but what i meant is that specifically since pi by definition goes on forever and never has a pattern, it is possible that any sequence of numbers will appear in pi at some point in its calculation.
- pg 17y agoPossible seems the wrong word to use here. Either every sequence appears, or some don't, and though the former seems likely, as far as I know it hasn't been proven yet.
- pc 17y agoRight—it hasn't even been proved that the decimal expansion of pi doesn't eventually revert to a digit sequence containing only 1s and 0s. (Or any other two digits.)
- pc 17y agoIt depends what you mean by "pattern", but it hasn't been shown that pi is a normal number. (I.e., that every sequence of digits is equally likely to occur.)
