i take it the .999...=1 thing was just a few morons without the abstraction capabilities to understand infinities in math? i think i missed that by a like a year.

I don't know man, that's just what I was taught in school.

1 divided by 3 = .333...
.333... * 3=.999...
Therefore .999....=1

If you can't trust your junior high math teacher, who can you trust? :shrug:

The explanation for why 0.999… = 1 that I find simplest and most convincing is that the number line is infinitely dense.

Between any two real numbers, there are infinitely many other real numbers.

That’s clearly not true for 0.999… and 1. You cannot come up with a single number that lies between them. They must, in fact, be the same number.

But if a plane with three wheels had each wheel on .3333... of a treadmill, would it still take off as long as the pilot was eating a hotdog sandwich?

I mean your explanation just means you can equate any number with any other number, doesn't it? because if 0.999... = 1 then clearly there's a number on the other side the same distance away that is exactly equal to 0.999... and a number next to that etc and before long you have literally every number equal to literally every number.

e: yes I know that 0.999...=1

Maybe if the grain is weightless, which it isnt. Every hear of a person getting caught in one of those?, if they dont get rescued quick its pretty grim. I dont think those birds with their brittle bird bones are going to survive unscathed.
