Why Are Some Numbers Infinitely Long?

Some numbers go on forever, like the number pi, it starts with 3.14 and just keeps going without repeating! Think of it like a never-ending story, where you can't write down all the digits. This happens because not every number fits neatly into parts that repeat or end, some are wild and free!

Examples

Pi is like the circumference of a circle, it never ends and you can't write all its digits!
The square root of two is like half a diagonal in a perfect square, it just keeps going.
Some numbers are wild, while others are tame. Pi and √2 are definitely wild!
