Default Re: Space in relative relation to Pi

Does anyone else here see where I am going with this?
Where you seem to be going with this looks like completely and utterly bogus theory.

Correct me if I'm wrong, that this is your process:

The universe is "infinitely large"
Pi as a number is "infinitely large"
If we know the "odds" of life existing", the number of times that string appears in Pi, is the number of places where life exists.

Is that vaguely where you were going with that?

See here's the problem: If we grant you premise 1 and 2 (Which aren't actually provable facts) the answer is "the string will appear an infinite number of times" which will tell you, according to your theory, that there are an infinite number of planets on which life exists, which isn't exactly helpful for anything.
