Well, that was why I asked about the 0.(0)1 and the adding to a nonexisting
end.
Which is just as impossible as adding another 9 to a infinite number of 9's ?!?
you cannot keep adding digits to 3.1415... because it has no end to attach ...
but TT is exact.
Why is 0.99999.... not just the largest number in
[0,1)
or the first smaller number below 1 ?[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

0.9r8 = 0.9r - 1/infinity
Which is rephrasing the problem in a much better way:
Why is 1/infinity != 0 ?
I beleive this is the appropriate wikipedia article:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardinality_of_the_continuum
But that starts getting into different sizes of infinity, which is always a fun
subject.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
