If we’re measuring a length of pi centimeters, why does it look finite but the number of digits is going on forever? It looks like that it’s moving small amount of time every time. Same with 0.5555555… or any number with infinite decimal places. I can’t wrap my head around it.

You and your 2 friends want to split a square cake. You could try to cut it in three, but that is difficult. It is a lot easier to cut it in four, take one piece each, cut the remaining piece in four, take a piece each, cut the next piece in four, take a piece each, cut… and so on. Each time you get closer and closer to getting 1/3 of the full cake, but to hit exactly 1/3 you need to continue the process of cutting and dividing forever. Therefore the amount is finite but the dicimals are infinite
