Oh my goodness!
What number cannot be expressed as the difference between 2 squares??????
give me any number, say, A.
A+b-b=(sqrt(A+b))^2 - (sqrt(b))^2
This is trivial!!!
And if u mean, can pi be expressed as the difference of 2 PERFECT square... no of course! A perfect square is an integer. The difference between 2 integers is another integer and Pi is NOT an integer.

Certainly. But at least one of the squares will be irrational. In fact, at least one must be transcendental.
