It would be super funny if at 101T digits we find an infinite series of 000000000 And figure: oh shit? Did we solve pi?

- echelon 4y agoI'm hoping for something closer to the ending of Carl Sagan's novel, "Contact". It only mentioned pi on half a page, but it sticks with you. I won't spoil it, but that book beautifully walked a skeptical / existential / transcendental line and makes you feel a special warmth despite being so immeasurably small. The book was much better than the (quite adequate) film. Sagan was an extraordinary communicator.
- zaik 4y agoHow would you know it's an infinite series if you're only computing a finite number of digits? (Also Pi is irrational, so this won't happen.)
