@stinerman @sldrant @fesshole depends on how strictly you define a 'non-repeating' sequence maybe? but you can also define infinity as containing every possible permutation, so with that in mind the occurrence of 7 consecutive digits doesn't seem all that improbable

@michael @fesshole yeah seems very difficult to argue about infinity one way or another without getting metaphysical..

@stinerman @fesshole @fesshole I see this was covered earlier, couldn't view the replies on mobile for some reason

@stinerman @fesshole thanks, that was my intuitive understanding but OP got me wondering about the implications - not to get too pedantic though, assuming they're referring to a limited # of digits within which such a sequence could be observed as novel.

@fesshole probably ill-conceived question from a non-maths student: if pi and e are never-ending numbers, does that suggest that any arbitrary 7-digit sequence has an equal likelihood of showing up at some point? non-repeating or prime sequences more probable than 7777777?

@sean_ae nice, I'll have to keep my ears open for the source 👍

@exinith @sean_ae @sfn @0gust1 @c_reider you're thinking of Rettic AC there
