    I'm reminded of the video I watched today. If we ever find the end of pi or that it repeats, that could mean we're in an AI simulation, as a simulator wouldn't have enough space to contain a whole irrational number, and so would just make it stupidly long so we'd think it's never-ending.

      @tiffany The problem is then, like any irrational number, we would need a method of representing it as a fraction a/b wherein b is not 0, which is currently impossible. So it's not just a question of finding the end, but proving it's not even irrational to begin with.
