Are Irrational Numbers Only Never Ending Because of Our Base 10 Number System.

Obviously in a base π system π could theoretically be simply shown as 1 right? And 2 would equal 2π etc. Is this just because I lack a fundamental understanding of irrational numbers? Also would changing to a base π system make π not irrational? Thanks in advance and if this makes sense please tell me.

In base pi, pi would be 10, and 2pi would be 20.

However, in base pi, the sqrt(2) would still be a non-terminating, non-repeating series of digits.

Moreover, irrational doesn't "mean" that it's a non-terminating, non-repeating series of digits.  That's merely a consequence.

The meaning of irrational is that it cannot be expressed as a ratio of integers.  Changing bases to pi won't change the fact that it can't be expressed as a ratio of integers, it only changes which numbers we choose to privilege with the base.

Excellent question btw.
