The "Feynman Point" is a series of six nines in pi. It starts at the 762nd decimal place.
π = 3.1415926 ... 1134999999837 ...
The series is named after Richard Feynman for claiming in a lecture that he wanted to memorize pi up to the 762nd digit so that he could end his recitation with "nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, and so on." This would give the false impression that pi is rational, since infinitely repeating nines indicate a terminating decimal (see "Wikipedia article '0.999...'" in related links).

What is known as the Feynman Point?
The Feynman point refers to the sequence of six consecutive 9's which can be located from the 762nd to 767th digits of pi. It's named after Feynman because he said he wanted to memorize pi to that point and say "nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine and so on".
What is the one-billionth decimal point of pi?
There is only one decimal point in the number Pi
What is the fifth number after the decimal point after pi?
9
Is the square root of pi infinite?
The square root of pi is a finite number. However, it is an irrational number. That implies that if you try to write it out as a decimal number, it will stretch out to an infinite number of decimal places to the right of the decimal point.
What is pi calculated to infinity?
Pi is an irrational number so it will go on to infinity. That also means it will take to infinity to calculate the infinite point. By definition a finite number will never be found.
