Base-10 Champernowne constant = 0. concatenated with successive natural numbers. It can be expressed as infinite series. Concatenating 0. with primes produces Copeland–Erdős constant.pic.twitter.com/b2plnv1sxZ

This is interesting but less significant than Luchese’s number 7. When Tony Luchese (1886-1935) was playing cards with Noogy Prato at Biff’s Club in 1927, he tried to play four 7s. But Noogy had two. Mamma Mia, what a shootout! Transcendental even.
Can someone explain?
No. No-one can.
1/2) The Champernowne number is an example of an irrational number whose digits are entirely predictable unlike the typical irrational like pi. The earliest number proven to be transcendental was Liouville's constant 0.11000100...00100...00100...
2/2) Liouville's constant has a 1 in the n! decimal place and zeros elsewhere. Liouville showed his constant to be transcendental in the 1840's.
It means more than that. For a number to be normal base 10, any string of b digits appears with proportion 1/10^b. For example 8675309 appears with proportion 1/10000000
In fact, it's trivial that each digit appears 10% if the time, since when we write all numbers from 1 to 10^n-1 all digits appear the same number of times
