as an infinte random string of values, the digits of pi will, sooner or later, contain any specific string of values.
i think it was Sagan’s “Contact” where aliens sent a message to read the digits of pi from the x th place to the y th place, and that stretch could be read as instructions on how to build a machine to reply.
But wouldn’t that be amazing if THAT was the thing that proved pi contained the whole universe - I mean, the first thing they “unlocked”. lol.
Disclaimer: I don’t think pi contains the universe, just love to think about things like that occasionally for fun.

Technically it does as the infinite set contains all possible subsets, or whatever
