And this is what someone has yet to give me. A true proof that pi does not repeat. Unless, by some strange theory of higher level math, a non repeating decimal can be rational. Or if there's a different definition of a rational number that I don't know about. But a proof would be nice...

What I mean is that since you cannot apply that technique to pi, and it results in such an answer as I described, it's more of a lack of a result rather than a result that proves pi does not repeat. It's indeterminate.

Thank you, that helped a lot. The one thing I just don't really understand is about the proof you showed for a repeating number. Let's say you apply that proof to pi, and you would get about 3110/990 or so, but the numerator still goes on forever. It seems to me to be similar to the effect of...

Okay, so this is a problem I've been pondering for a while. I've heard from many people that pi doesn't repeat. Nor does e, or √2, or any other irrational or transcendental number. But what I'm wondering is, how do we know? If there truly is an infinite amount of digits, isn't it bound to...

Give me some scientific evidence proving pi doesn't repeat. And no, not a Wikipedia page simply stating it doesn't. And sometimes, as I said before, you are only limited by the technology you are using. If someone calculates pi to the quintillionth digit, and it doesn't reapeat in that string of...

Pi is a great example of my hypothesis. From what we have studied, pi is 3.1415926535. Or it could be 3.14159265358979323. Or even 1 million digits. In those 1 million digits, it doesn't repeat. Pi is a non terminating decimal, so who's to say that it will never reapeat? It has the "opportunity"...

Just think about it in more abstract terms, this is only textbook knowledge. If a number is random, that means there is an infinite amount of possibilities, and if there is an infinite amount of possibilities, you have the chance of it repeating at one point, be it after 10 digits or after a...

Oh, okay, thank you. I'm not be a physicist, (heck, I'm only a freshman in high school), so sometimes I get my facts screwed up.

Hmm... But magnetism is created by charges the matter produces, and you don't need physical contact for the reaction to occur.

Technically, no. Eventually, if it is truly infinite, after all the googolplexes of combinations of numbers, it will repeat. Randomness is only based on the time that you study it for. If you have 0.1256627773728172818918268162, that obviously doesn't repeat. But if you let it continue, it will...

So, semi-simple antimatter physics state that when antimatter comes in contact with regular matter, an explosion occurs. If there is only antimatter and matter in the universe, how can antimatter even exist, since it will come in contact with matter at one point and explode? So how are...

Well, an antimatter atom consists of neutrons and anti-protons in its nucleus, which, as its name suggests, are negatively charged protons. On the outside, they have positrons, which are positive electrons.
