They’re probably the only things that “create” information in the sense that you can always grab another slice. Thank you delicious pi!

    Situationally, yes. “I want the next digit of pi” is information in that sense of the word. It’s not a particularly useful piece of information unless you’re building something that requires a circle with a circumferential precision larger than the width of our entire universe.

      How many digits of Pi would you have to read for you to be able to reconstruct all of the information in the Universe up to this moment?

        None, because the digits of π have absolutely nothing to do with the universe.
