There’s a 9 repeating 6 times in there which I’d think is a pretty rare occurrence in pi. I wonder what the longest occurrence of a repeating digit is.

Pi is infinite so every combination/string of numbers is in there, if we calculated enough you could find a billion 2s next to each other

You can look through the first trillion here

Not necessarily. It could just become a series of 1’s repeating forever. Nothing would require it to contain all strings of numbers.

The point of pi is that it’s non-repeating

Diameter of a hydrogen atom is all well and good, but how many digits of pi will we need to be accurate to a Planck Length?

Honestly probably not that many more. My guess since I’m too lazy to do the math is less than 100.

The diameter of a hydrogen atom is over 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 plank lengths.

So based on this post I have no idea.

Well that’s only 26 more digits, so we’re probably good at 100 digits of pi. [citation needed]

Even cooler, at 75 digits you can calculate the circumference of your mom
