Seriously for a second - can you mathematically prove that a certain sequence does not exist in pi?

Seriously for a second - can you mathematically prove that a certain sequence does not exist in pi?
- saint_fiasco 10y agoIt's an open question. It is believed, but not proven, that pi is a normal number. Normal numbers have every possible sequence somewhere, in every base.
- Someone 10y agoI don't think we know whether it is decidable whether you can, but we certainly cannot (?yet?) As other posts already said, if, as many think, π is normal (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_number https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_number), every sequence appears in it. If it isn't, that still is open.
