It doesn't even follow from the decimal expansion being both infinite and non-repeating. It has never been proven or disproven whether π has the relevant property. | ||

Take the irrational number 0.101001000100001... for example, it doesn't have a single string that contains 2-9, nor does it have the strings "0110" or "1001001". nice example, thanks for that! | ||

Probably when you're doing something you're both good at and enjoy, and you're in a state of flow, where your brain works with much more finesse, efficiency, and inspiration. An ironic example is if you're a good dancer. | ||

Currently this has not been proved, but most mathematicians suspect it to be true.

Why are you thinking about sitting so hard? Just sit. 2. There is no state of mind for said motion, because sitting is pre-programmed in our primal mind. EX) Why do animals, all living beings, need to consume energy to live? Why don't everything just stay motionless and hibernate to regain energy used? Because it's genetically programmed that we consume energy to fuel our bodily functions, and our body needs more than just rest to function on a daily basis. 3. "State of Mind" is subject to said dancing. I could be "sitting" (in the common language), but to my own knowledge I am dancing to my heart's content. | ||

I'm looking for a word that's pronounce /eə/, or /er/ for you Americans (it's a homophone for "air" and "heir", if you don't know phonetic spelling). I heard it in the context of a room having an /eə/ of something, like 'When we entered the room, there was a distinct /eə/ of apprehension.' Halp. Yup Air. As in......."The air was so thick with apprehension/anticipation/tension, you could cut it with a knife." | ||

There is also 'err' which could work in a context like' "We had to err on the side of caution." err ər,er/ verb formal verb: err; 3rd person present: errs; past tense: erred; past participle: erred; gerund or present participle: erring 1. be mistaken or incorrect; make a mistake. Apparently, this is the word you are supposed to use when you say something like "starcraft errored out." Because errored isn't actually a word (yet?). So you would say "starcraft erred out." | ||
