Pi is one of the most amazing numbers. Many scientific works have been devoted to its study; powerful supercomputers are working on miscalculating the sequence of its decimal part. Despite this, the Pi number still continues to excite the minds of researchers.
People usually learn about what the Pi number is at school - it is equal to the ratio of the circumference to its diameter. The number is already interesting because it is not affected by a change in the diameter of the circle and, accordingly, its length, their ratio is universal. In addition, its amazing feature is that it is infinite. But there is another point that confuses the minds of scientists - in the decimal part of the number Pi, that is, in the one that follows the decimal point, there are no repeating sections!
A person who is far from mathematics will only shrug in response to this statement - well, it doesn’t repeat itself, so what? But the fact of the matter is that this quality of Pi is truly unique. We can say that the sequence of numbers in it represents chaos in its original form - it does not even hint at any kind of structuring, which in itself seems impossible to scientists.
In confirmation of the unusual nature of this, it is enough to say that scientists could not find other similar examples of chaos. Even in seemingly very chaotic processes - for example, the movement of snowflakes in a snowstorm, in a seething stream of water, etc. repeating sections always occur - the so-called fractals. We can say that chaos itself is organized, structured. But this is not among Pi.
Almost every person knows the beginning of the Pi number - 3.1415926
Using supercomputers, scientists were able to calculate it up to 12411-trillion mark, this achievement is included in the Guinness Book of Records. But even in this unimaginable length of the sequence, no regularity was found.
This feature of the number Pi can be used in practice. We can say that this is an ideal random number generator. If you need a completely random sequence, just take any part of the decimal part of the number Pi.
However, scientists are not even attracted to the practical aspects of using a random sequence of numbers in the Pi number, but this randomness itself - for them it is an example of the existence of something that cannot exist. There is every reason to believe that revealing the secrets of this chaos will allow us to come to amazing discoveries that can turn the life of mankind.
