Well, pi is almost certainly normal. That means that it stores all possible information (for example, the entire contents of the internet). We haven&#x27;t proved normality of pi, but if we do, then seeing the face of God in the digits of pi is just the infinite monkey theorem. But this is mundane. You can also see them in the square root of two or in e.<p>I get that Sagan was trying to get the &quot;numinous&quot;, but the tiniest bit of mathematical knowledge makes pi mundane, not mystical. If you want to make <i>me</i> mystical with mathematics, oh boy, talk to me about the Gauss Bonnet theorem, the classification of finite simple groups, or the moonshine conjecture. But pi is pedestrian.
