Best Answer

Because it's an irrational number, and that's what "irrational" means. There are lots of other Irrational Numbers, like the base of the natural logarithm e or the square root of 2.

In fact, there are more irrational numbers than rational numbers. A lot more.

Infinitely more, even. There are an infinite number of rational numbers, but the infinite number of irrational numbers is a higher infinity than the infinity of rational numbers.
