If you use something other than base-10 (decimal) to represent the value of pi, do you think the sequence of pi numbers ever stop?
Like the reason this bullshit 3.14159265358... never stops is because we use base-10.

pi is not rational, so no

try it in base 2 and see what happens

Take base pi: the answer is pi

finite representation in an integer base easily implies that the number is rational: it can be expressed as a finite sum of fractions.

> pi is irrational

Algebraic proofs do not rely on what base you do calculations in.

Use base pi and it becomes 1. Trouble is all the integers become infinite non-repeating decimals.

Except if it were base pi. Go back and rework all your proofs.

working in base pi doesn't change what integers or rationals are

As >>12376851 says, it would be 10, just as two is 10 in base two.

Anon if you make your number system base pi, pi stops being irrational and becomes a rational number because it now equals 0.999...

He said "integers are already infinite repeat decimals" whilst replying to someone who said "integers become infinite non-repeating decimals"

So I asked the anon if he was retarded, since he seems to not notice "repeating" =/= "non-repeating"

It stops being 3.14 and starts being a flat 10. Pi's irrationality is a measurement fluke; if you built your measurement system around it it won't be irrational.

so you don't know what rational numbers are. you should have said something
