We will never know all the digits of pi. Nevertheless, those digits are out there, waiting to be discovered. As of this writing, twenty-two trillion digits have been computed by the world’s fastest computers. Yet twenty-two trillion is nothing compared to the infinitude of digits that define the actual pi. Think of how philosophically disturbing this is. I said that the digits of pi are out there, but where are they exactly? They don’t exist in the material world. They exist in some Platonic realm, along with abstract concepts like truth and justice.
