1/3=0.333333 ect |

This has nothing to do with physics or computer science, this has to do with MATHEMATICS and the FACT that .999 repeating is EQUAL TO ONE. |

So are you claiming that .99 repeating does not equal 1 after offering a very basic and self-explanatory proof of it? |
|
well, I'm always willing to be proved wrong |
|
When I discovered this .999 problem it made me realize the true stupidity of rational thought. |

Everything works out in the end, sometimes even badly.
if 0.999~ = 1 |
|
It equals 1. |
|
.33333... * 3 = .99999... |
|
Learn to argue. Learn to do sixth grade math. And screw you too. |

Sort of. |
|
This is true. |
|
Because .9999... = 1 = .3333...(3). So .9999... Can't be equal to 1. |

You can argue that it's not one with words and exagerated logic all day long. But no matter how many fancy words you have, numbers say that .9~ is 1. Numbers do not lie. Words do. |

Hungrymanz, you just NEED it to be 1 so the universe can exist in a logical, fluid way. |
|

Theoretical mathematics do exist in a logical way, however. |

Why are so many people here ignorant of their lack of qualification to solve this problem? |
|
How can a number be "approaching" anything? It isn't changing; it's a number. It's not a function. It's a single number. You must realize that 0.9~ is not a process of adding 9's, it's the totality of an infinite number of 9's after the decimal, and that is why it does equal 1. |
|
That was an incorrect proof by the way (if that's what it was supposed to be) because you would then need to prove that 0.333... = 1/3, and you're faced with exactly the same problem (although again it is trivial to do properly: x10, -1x, /9; or use my summing method above). |
