If the digits of Pi really go on infinitely without repeating…

… 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.

What it means is that there isnt a pattern.
Eventually every finite sequence of digits will repeat, but since the whole sequence isnt finite it wont be repeated.
