Pi goes on forever because if you take the diameter of a circle and try to wrap it around the circle there is no simple ratio between these lengths.
Now why isn't there a simple ratio? With a hexagon the diameter fits three times. So, why can't exactly three diameters make up the circumference of a circle?
I'm thinking about how to answer this without just going "it's not Euclidian" which isn't a real explanation.
Maybe someone else can help here.
