Question: Can you convert pi into binary (Is possible)?

The way irrational numbers are usually represented in binary is through floating point http://www.toves.org/books/float/ , however you obviously can't represent the entirety of the irrational number in that way.
If you had infinite space, you could represent PI in binary by simply converting every number into its binary equivalent
3.14... => 0011 , 0001 0100...
that wouldn't be floating point format, but it would be the simplest way to represent pi in binary (but again, you'd need infinite space to store the bits)

Third way would be to use the formula to compute each digit and then translate it to binary "on the fly"

Yes, exactly the way we "convert" it into decimal. The positions on the other side of the decimal, rather than being 10ths, 100ths, 1000ths, etc, would be halves, fourths, 8ths, 16ths, etc.

Just translate to binary : "ratio of the area of a circle to the square of its radius" and you're done.

With less psuedobabble, applications programmed to calculate like this are called symbolic mathematical engines.

do people really not understand radixes/bases?

yes, pi has a binary representation
just like every fucking number

>>8513574
no it's impossible because pi is infinite

>>8514248
this.
OP, you and your friends are fucking retarded

>>8513574
Your computer has to store the number somehow
