A question inspired by #567:

Within an infinite and random sequence of numbers (e.g. pi), is there necessarily an infinite series of 1's, and an infinite series of 2's, etc?

Is there necessarily the works of Shakespeare written out in in a=1, b=2 etc? Is there the works of Shakespeare written like that but with every instance of the word "King" changed to the word "Elvis"?

Or is this a fallacy?

Answers: pi isn't random (it's the same every time you work it out) but it is assumed that it is normal in every base, meaning that it has similar properties to a randomly generated sequence with each digit having equal probability of appearing. There certainly isn't an infinite sequence of 1s or 2s, but given any finite length of sequence (say one billion 1s in a row) this appears somewhere if pi is normal. Assuming you find a logical method to convert the complete works of Shakespeare, or any other text, to a sequence of base 10 digits, this will also appear somewhere in pi if pi is normal.

These aren't the only two options. If the universe is finite, it doesn't necessarily mean there is an edge. Think of the surface of the Earth. That's finite, but you're never going to reach an edge. The same could be true of the universe, if it is finite.

The number is written as 1 with 10^122 zeroes succeeding it, which is - simply put - unwritable. To put into perspective just how enormous this number truly is, there are 10^40 times as many zeroes in it as there are atoms in the observable universe. Sooo...if every atom represented a single digit in this colossal number, then there would need to be 10^40 duplicates of the observable universe to accommodate for every atom. Not to mention, this is simply a visualization of the number of digits in 10^10^122, rather than the true size of it.

#567 is larger than a googolplex...

one googolplex is one with googol zeroes (10^googol)

and googol is one with 100 zeroes (10^100)

so one googolplex is equal to 10^(10^100)

which 10^(10^122) is a lot more (since exponents make numbers very very big)

thats very far away lol
