It is almost certain that pi does contain sequences of zeroes of arbitrary length, but that following those zeroes are other numbers.

- 6gvONxR4sf7o 4y agoIsn’t that still just a conjecture that pi’s digits are random-ish?
- pvg 4y agoIf you're talking about whether pi is 'normal', it's more than 'just a conjecture' but not something that's been proved. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_number https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_number
- hansvm 4y agoWtf is there between a conjecture and something which has been proven?
- pvg 4y agoIntermediate results, on which eventual proofs often end up relying.
- sbierwagen 4y agoFortunately, Philip J. Davis wrote a paper on this exact topic in 1985: https://www.gwern.net/docs/www/www.maa.org/9230a8f2614ddd74b52c556fe0364fbcc24e1a30.pdf https://www.gwern.net/docs/www/www.maa.org/9230a8f2614ddd74b... He listed at least 21 states between "conjecture" and "proof".
