… then don’t they inevitably repeat after all?
For example, the digit ‘3’ repeats a lot, of course.
The digits ’31’ also repeat.
Then the digits ‘314’ do as well.
And so on… 3141, 31415, 314159, etc etc.
According to [the Pi-Search page](https://www.angio.net/pi/):
>The string 31415926 occurs at position 50366472. This string occurs 3 times in the first 200M digits of Pi.
counting from the first digit after the decimal point. The 3. is not counted.
So, if it truly does continue forever, isn’t it likely that every set of digits must repeat at some point, no matter how long the string may be?
If not, please explain why.

Statistically speaking yes, all of those sequences will eventually appear an infinite number of times, but being an irrational number doesn’t mean there is no repetition, it just means that it does not repeat indefinitely. So it doesn’t get to a point where it starts repeating the same sequence over and over.
