That Pi goes to infinity?

HAs anyone checked? Maybe the just didn't have enough pi?

Somebody proved it mathematically. I know someone made an equation that will tell you the number that will be in that decimal place. Say you wanted to know the number that is in the 942454622425665 decimal place you would type in 942454622425665 and it would give you the number. Some guys in Japan calculated Pi to the trillionth place.

but what if it ended at the trillionth +1 place. how do we really know that they didn't stop 1 number before it ended.

Then we check the trillionth + 1 place. Actually they did prove it to go on forever.

You can prove it in the geometry. have you watched the movie Pi?

You see, pie is normally in circular form, if you look at a circle you will see that there is no beginning or end- oh wait, you meant pi.... carry on then.

I saw this movie

But it didn't explain any math problmes.......more like a home ed. class.

Probably since the square root of LT

I've seen that movie and liked it.

Actually, I don't think it's a question if it ever ends. 1/3 never ends, e.g., .333333333333...

The question is whether or not if any sequence of numbers ever repeat themselves. So far, no one has ever proven that they do.
