Does pi go on forever ? How do we know ?

@Harmonium1923 ex-hubby was irrational and a computer mathematician

@Harmonium1923 pi is more than irrational, it’s transcendental.

@SW-User 💯

@startingover23 The larger pie gets the less useful it is . More accurate but the accurate doesn't mean more useful

@Evolved Unfortunately I'm not a mathematician so lack the ability to describe it exactly - if you look at https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proof_that_%CF%80_is_irrational it will give some details - irrational numbers have the property of being infinitely long too.

@CheekyBadger Sorry my question was a bit mathematical. Thank you for the link.

@CheekyBadger Adding zeros doesn’t change the accuracy of 0.5 but adding another 3 to 0.333… does.

The difference between how we express 1/2 and 1/3 depends on our base 10 number system. They are both rational numbers because they can both be written as a fraction with two integers whereas Pi can’t

@exexec the smaller is pi, the accuracy is never in error

@Convivial apple pi, my favorite
