This is not true. Pi is probably irrational, which means we know it doesn't repeat itself. However, it is not proven to be normal, so it's a conjecture (but not fact) that it contains every finite sequence of digits at some point.
- gowld 8y agoThat's the worst possible typo for this conversation. Pi is provably irrational, and probably normal!
