I thought pi hadn’t been proven to be normal, only conjectured to. My phone number isn’t in the digits of pi that we’ve discovered so far, for example: https://www.angio.net/pi/
Plot twist: the websites that check if a given number has been found in pi are actually just data mining operations looking for credit card numbers and phone numbers.
That did occur to me, so I only gave them my old number.
Well obviously that’s not in pi. Pi only tracks current phone numbers.
There is a website that just has like, a million digits of py in plai text, you could go there and ctrl+f
I checked a couple but none were found if I included the area code.
Based on my sample size of half a dozen phone numbers, it doesnt seem to have numbers once they are more than 8 digits.
Seems like there should some formula to determine how long the normal number needs to be to have all digits go to a certain length.
Reminds me of the formula for calculating the shortest path to watch all episodes in a tv series in all possible orders.
is 200m what’s been discovered, or just what was worth putting into this program? Not a huge expert but I thought it’s all fairly easy to get the next number of pi, just seemingly never ending.
We currently know about 202 trillion digits of pi. As for your other question: it is easy to get the next digit of pi from a “mathematical” point of view. By this I mean that we know functions that will approximate pi with as much precision as we want, but actually having a computer do it is very hard. The digits we know today took 3 months and needed 1.5 petabytes of high end storage.
Apparently it’s been calculated to trillions of digits so a bit lacking.
The search on that length would need an optimized index.
Sorry for the AI slop. I am not an artist and just thought this was kind of funny. I like that Ω is hidden in their hairstyle.
Chaitin’s Ω: Not just transcendental but uncomputable and algorithmically random. Also normal in every base.
Tap for spoiler
What does Omega mean?
Chaitin’s constant also known as Chaitin’s Ω is transcendental, uncomputable and algorithmically random. Also normal in every base. I don’t know how or what any of it means, but it’s a probable, normal number.
Yes, I’m aware of that, but being irrational alone is not sufficient. There are an infinite number of irrational base-10 numbers that only contain combinations of 0 and 1, for example, and none of them will contain my phone number, credit card, etc.
Not all irrational numbers are normal numbers, and only normal numbers are guaranteed to behave as described in the OP.
It doesn’t contain your phone number when read as a base 10 number! Checkmate, I got your phone number!
Sorry…
How about if it’s read as a base pi number?
🙀
Your compensation is a giant storage system
Write (initial lookup) speed must be atrocious, but I do wonder about the read speed.
I bet there are algorithms which can compute arbitrary digits of Pi in Log time or less, and you could parallelize that to make data retrieval very fast.
I look forward to the day where someone encodes Rick Astley’s famous hit, using 10 indices or less
Is there a website where I can type all that out and find out if I am affected? 🤪
Yes!
I know mine is in there
They say that a beam of light doesn’t understand time. That if you were to travel at the speed of light, a ray of light would just be one long line with a start and end point.
They also say that a beam of light has infinite possibilities to get to a destination, and the destinations it can get to are infinite as well. As in life, it’s all in the journey. The journey can be as short or as winding as you choose to make it.
But that makes me wonder about things like pi. It’s a journey that is never ending. If a ray of light followed the path of pi, though it gets ever closer, it never reaches its final destination. It is truly immortal.
And if that’s the case, then that must mean universes, in some way, until the numbers stop numbering, are too.
Journey before destination
As if thats not bad enough, someone wrote an entire book that contains the exact date and manner of my death and put it in the library of babel.
Only if you have mesothelioma too.
Oh my god, I just checked in mine’s in there too!
