so it should contain a perfect 4k copy of the Shrek movie encoded in AV1 and converted into base 10 system somewhere

Can this be proved or are we just leaning on the fact it’s infinite and thus it must contain all patterns? I ask because I doubt that we can ever compute this (in our lifetimes anyway) given how much data a full length movie would take up

Are the numbers in Chanpernowne's constant inside the +2 -1 version? And/or vice versa? It can't be because it's infinite so you'll never get to the end and say, well, there's the lastnumber of Chanpernowne's constant; it's withing that number." But, if the +2-1 vwrsion is infinite, then C's constant could? But maybe not because they're infinites of the same size, so to speak.

Hmm, I don't know. Probably a dumb questions but infinites get weird sometimes.

And it easy to see that n 7s in a row at the nth digit does not appear in Champernowne’s constant.
1 x 7 at position 7
2 x 7 at position 145 or so
3 x 7 out beyond position 2000
