No, all strings theoretically exist in 𝛑 given enough digits, so longer strings don't reduce probability of existence, they just mean that it will take more digits to find them.

- gorgoiler 6y agoI looked this up but I’m not sure I grasp your point. Are you saying that: - given a long string, we might ask “can this string be found in PI?” - the probability of finding a long string in PI is infinitely small - the number of possible strings in PI is infinitely large - it’s not possible to decide if the answer is yes or no?
