I don't believe just being transcendental is sufficient for that property.

E.g. I can't imagine that pi with all the '1' digits replaced by '2' isn't transcendental, but it clearly doesn't contain every sequence of digits.

I think you mean normal numbers.



You're right: normal, not transcendental.

IIRC, most real numbers are normal, and many important transcendental numbers are thought to be (but have not been proven to be) normal.

I edited my comment. Thank you for the correction!


> most real numbers are normal

Which means that most real numbers violate all present and future copyrights.
