We don't know that it does. It's just that as far out as it's been calculated so far ...
2.5 trillion decimal places according to a Japanese team and their supercomputer in 2009 ...
the end of the decimal hasn't turned up yet. But that's not a guarantee that it won't end at
some decimal place farther out.

Actually there is proof that pi continues to infinity.
It has been proven that Pi is a transcendental number - an extension of the Lindeman Weierstrasse theorem. A transcendental number is a special kind of irrational number and there is proof that all Irrational Numbers have infinite, non-recurring decimal representations.

'pi' is an irrational number, which means that the decimal digits are not in any regular order, and the digits continue to infinity. pi = 3.141592..... ( is the correct way to write 'pi'). The word 'infinity' means 'never ending' or 'never finishing'.
No. Pi is a finite number.
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.
No. Infinity goes on forever, and thus is an 'infinitely' large number. Pi however, even though it has infinite decimal places, will never be a bigger number than what it is. By this I mean Pi can never be measured as 3.2. Or 3.15. Or 3.143. At least in my understanding.
infinity, the pi number keeps going on to infinity
