A follow-up, with examples of numbers that are infinite and non-repeating but don't contain all combinations of digits: http://youtu.be/8PUJvAlD64k Happy Pi Day! Also see: Pi is (still) Wrong: http://youtu.be/jG7vhMMXagQ Pi in Binary Hand Dance: http://youtu.be/OCYZTg3jahU Special thanks to Toby (or not Toby) for playing Dog Hamlet. This cool website lets you search the first 200,000,000 digits of Pi. See if your phone number or encoded name is in there! http://www.angio.net/pi/piquery Seven Sonnets: Are Shakespeare's plays encoded within Pi? The truth is: we don't know, but we suspect They're somewhere in those digits. And now I Will show why we don't know if we're correct. You see, we think the digits do behave As if they were a random sequence, and So many mathematicians tried to brave This question, but we still don't understand. Pi isn't random: each digit must be Exactly what the definition states. It's pseudo-random, far as we can see, But it's the subject of intense debates. Now I'll explain, with this parameter: It's all in iambic pentameter. You may have heard of this scenario: A thousand monkeys type at keyboards 'till They write the works of Shakespeare. Even though, In one life it's a task they can't fulfill. If you allow their kids to carry on, All through the generations working hard, They will evolve before they come upon A single sonnet written by the Bard. But still, the theory's sound! And it is true That with a random and infinite set Of letters, that eventu-ally you Will find whatever words you want to get. However, on this thing you can depend: Before you do, the universe will end. Pi is a number, and that's why I can Completely guarantee no part will be 9-1-3-7-5-2-2-8-ten 4-7-9-H-A-M-L-E-T. You'd have to make up something, like a code Where zero-one is A, Oh-three is C, Or you could also choose some other mode, Oh-2 could be "to be or not to be." But let's go with this sys
