>half an inch on a one-foot ruler is the same as half an inch on a yardstick
We're not talking about units, though, we're talking about taking two different numbers and making the same amount of divisions, [2/2=1, 1/2=0.5], [2/4=0.5, 1/4=0.25], they fundamentally can't point to the same number no matter how many divisions you make, same thing with the ruler and yardstick, the units and their distances from 0 are the same, yes, but they are a different fraction away from the total length of your measurement device

>∞/4 is different from ∞.
It is, one is split into 4 parts and the other is not, if you had 5 lines with one being infinite in length and the others being inf/4 in length then the undivided line would always be 4x longer than the other ones, you can't extend one line without extending the others if the ratios have to stay the same.

>not making the floor flat and level
failing that, the difference would be so small it wouldn't be noticeable unless you were specifically looking for it

What happens if my earnest involvement to further AI and bring it into existence hinders the project because I'm a fuck-up? Wouldn't the threat of blackmail not benefit the AI in that case?

How so?
You aren't traveling into the past, you can only see things that have happened, you're just seeing them faster than the light images have traveled to a location
You aren't in two places at the same time either, since you did travel, it's the static image that has not yet updated

Gravity is known for fucking with it, and something is expanding the universe faster than light
you got contraction and expansion right there, just not able to be harnessed at the moment
