… 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.

When we say “without repeating” what we mean is that it starts repeating some finite sequence and *only* that sequence. For example, at some point it was *only* 314314314314314… forever and nothing else.
That is what is meant when people say it doesn’t repeat.
