but there's an end to everything.. right?

No one has ever found one yet. Because it's an irrational number it theoretically goes on forever without recurring or ending.
However, no matter how many digits have been calculated by computers, how do we know they are correct ? Has anyone ever checked the answers ? Does any one even know that the calculation method is 100% correct ?

No.
How many digits are there? Does it ever end?
Because Pi is known to be an irrational number it means that the digits never end or repeat in any known way. But calculating the digits of Pi has proven to be an fascination for mathematicians throughout history. Some spent their lives calculating the digits of Pi, but until computers, less than 1,000 digits had been calculated. In 1949, a computer calculated 2,000 digits and the race was on. Millions of digits have been calculated, with the record held (as of September 1999) by a supercomputer at the University of Tokyo that calculated 206,158,430,000 digits. (first 1,000 digits).

No. there's no ending for pi as the last digit will keep on repeating it self

It depends on whether or you are speaking theoretically or practically. Theoretically, there is no end. Practically, as the earth is not infinite, the notion of infinite numbers is meaningless, as there is no infinity of time in which to count infinitely.

No. That's why the Pi symbol exists, just to allow you to calculate it using calculator more precisely.

Nope :) It is a mathematical infinite number.

no because its 3.14 to the infinity like the 1 third.

You know it already.
No
Its irrational, that is non terminating , non recurring decimal.

is that a number or a letter. pi isnt a letter .it is ending now
