NanoSteps -- the brainstorming thread

Okay, I recognized the Contact reference, but... surely Doug meant to say "Every possible finite string of digits." After all, any given irrational number is represented in the numeric base of your choice as an infinitely long string of digits not replicated by any other irrational number as represented in that same base. That's the detail that the Diagonalization Proof of the Uncountability of the Real numbers hinges on.

Well, yes... but does Doug know that much math?
