"It would take an infinite amount of power to calculate every digit in pi" Representation by digits is just one representation. We have plenty of finite representations: http://mathworld.wolfram.com/PiFormulas.html http://mathworld.wolfram.com/PiFormulas.html Base 10 notation also requires a calculation to get the concrete number: You have to sum and multiply and power a lot (Imagine whole numbers described in base 10, now how you get that number of something?)
