Obviously, no.
First, you can't do math with infinite numbers like that.
To understand, let's imagine it's finite.
A = 0.9999...9999
10 * A = 10 * 0.9999...9999
10 * A = 9.9999...9990
(10*A) - A = 9.9999...9990 - 0.9999...9999
(10*A) - A = 8.9999...9991

So, no, 0.999... is not equal to 1.

This confusion is what I mean by "you can't use integer operators on infinite numbers".
0.999... is infinite. You will never ever have anything else than a 9 after the 9.
Theorically, multiplying 0.999... by 10^infinite will give you infinite, because anything multiplied by infinite is infinite.
But by using integer's operators, 0.999... * 10^infinite gives ...999.999... which is not the same at all.
Hence my confusion.

The "+" in 0.999... + 1 isn't an operator on integers, it's an operator on real numbers.

There are many equivalent ways of defining what real numbers are and what the operations on real numbers are. One of my favorites is the nested interval model. I can make some posts explaining how it works.

You know how you can't find a rational number that squares to 2, but if you assume a number exists that squares to 2, you can figure out that it has to be between 1 and 2? You can go further and figure out that it has to be between 1.4 and 1.5, and then that it has to be between 1.41 and 1.42, and so on. You can carry this process out forever.

Whenever we have a infinite sequence of statements like
[math]1 \le x \le 2[/math]
[math]1.4 \le x \le 1.5[/math]
[math]1.41 \le x \le 1.42[/math]
and so on forever,
then each of the statements is a "closed interval" telling us where to find the number,
and we say that this series of statements defines a real number provided that
(1) the endpoints of the intervals are rational numbers
(2) the intervals are nested, meaning the endpoints of any interval are included in all the intervals that come before it
(3) the intervals converge to zero width, meaning that for any fraction 1/n, n being a positive integer, there is an interval in our sequence whose width (second endpoint minus first endpoint) is smaller than 1/n.

If we have two infinite sequences of nested intervals like this, and they overlap at each stage, we say the two infinite sequences define the same real number.

When we write an infinite decimal like
[math]\pi = 3.14...[/math]
what it means is that
[math]3 \le \pi \le 4[/math]
[math]3.1 \le \pi \le 3.2[/math]
[math]3.14 \le \pi \le 3.15[/math]
and so on forever.

We can add [math]\sqrt{2}[/math] and [math]\pi[/math] to get another real number.
[math]1 \le \sqrt{2} \le 2[/math] and [math]3 \le \pi \le 4[/math], therefore [math]4 \le \sqrt{2} + \pi \le 6[/math].
[math]1.4 \le \sqrt{2} \le 1.5[/math] and [math]3.1 \le \pi \le 3.2[/math], therefore [math]4.5 \le \sqrt{2} + \pi \le 4.7[/math].
[math]1.41 \le \sqrt{2} \le 1.42[/math] and [math]3.14 \le \pi \le 3.15[/math], therefore [math]4.55 \le \sqrt{2} + \pi \le 4.57[/math].
Other operations can be defined similarly.

There is no last number. It's not at an unknown position, it's at no position.
Assume there is a last number and its position is nth digit after the comma. The number has an infinite number of decimal digits so there must be more digits than any number n. Therefore it can't be in any position.

If you take an apple and cut it in 3 seperate parts;
.333...
.333...
.333...

If you cut the same apple in 4 equal parts; .25, .25, .25, .25

So this is a situation with odd numbers;

That is due to? Something about the number system, of decimals?

1/3, 1/3, 1/3 = 3/3 = 1

Apparently there 3 parts can perfectly equal 1.

But due to the decimal system it doesn't work so smoothly?

Because no 3 equal numbers equals 1.

The closest you can get to getting 3 equal numbers to equal 1, is throwing a bunch of .3s on the end of .3

Theres no way to put some series of numbers after .333333

That when added to 2 others, gives you 1. All the candidates or 3 numbers to give you 1, are .333

It would just need a single .1 to push it over the edge to 1, but we run into the same problem we are trying to solve;. How to evenly build that 1? It can be done.

>What is an equation that might come up in the wild wherein .999.... Is the result, and if .999... = 1, why did it show up in the .999... Form and not as 1?
It's common for a result to be "either 0.999... or 1.000...".
Here's an example with "either 1.999... or 2.000..."

First, take the square root of two by successive decimal approximations,
[math]1 \le \sqrt{2} \le 2[/math]
[math]1.4 \le \sqrt{2} \le 1.5[/math]
[math]1.41 \le \sqrt{2} \le 1.41[/math]
[math]1.414 \le \sqrt{2} \le 1.415[/math]
and so on.

Then multiply the result by itself, obtaining
[math]1 \le \sqrt{2}^2 \le 4[/math]
[math]1.96 \le \sqrt{2}^2 \le 2.25[/math]
[math]1.9881 \le \sqrt{2}^2 \le 2.0164[/math]
[math]1.999396 \le \sqrt{2}^2 \le 2.002225[/math]
and so on.

At the second step we can say
[math]1 \le \sqrt{2}^2 \le 2[/math] or [math]2 \le \sqrt{2}^2 \le 3[/math]
meaning that the decimal representation of our result starts with either 1 or 2.

At the third step we can say
[math]1.9 \le \sqrt{2}^2 \le 2.0[/math] or [math]2.0 \le \sqrt{2}^2 \le 2.1[/math]
meaning that the decimal representation of our result starts with either 1.9 or 2.0.

At the fourth step we can say
[math]1.99 \le \sqrt{2}^2 \le 2.00[/math] or [math]2.00 \le \sqrt{2}^2 \le 2.01[/math]
meaning that the decimal representation of our result starts with either 1.99 or 2.00.

>>14624135
If we sum 0.333... + 0.333... + 0.333... carefully, we also get the result of "0.999... or 1.000...".

Let x = 0.333..., meaning
[math]0 \le x \le 1[/math]
[math]0.3 \le x \le 0.4[/math]
[math]0.33 \le x \le 0.34[/math]
[math]0.333 \le x \le 0.334[/math]
and so on.

Then multiplying by 3, we obtain
[math]0 \le 3x \le 3[/math]
[math]0.9 \le 3x \le 1.2[/math]
[math]0.99 \le 3x \le 1.02[/math]
[math]0.999 \le 3x \le 1.002[/math]
and so on.

At the second step, we have enough information to conclude that
[math]0.9 \le x \le 1.0[/math] or [math]1 \le x \le 2[/math]
meaning our result in decimal form starts with either 0.9 or 1.

At the third step, we know that
[math]0.99 \le x \le 1.00[/math] or [math]1.0 \le x \le 1.1[/math]
meaning our result in decimal form starts with either 0.99 or 1.0.

At the fourth step, we know that
[math]0.999 \le x \le 1.000[/math] or [math]1.00 \le x \le 1.01[/math]
meaning our result in decimal form starts with either 0.999 or 1.00.

I just realized that 10 is a placeholder for 0, as 11 starts as the 1 again. So the idea of 0 is kept up and up.

This is kinda what is being implied;

That 9 goes to 1.

Or 10. Which is ""0"".

3, 3, 3 is 9.

.333, .333, .333 is .999

Can 3 equal odd numbers equal 10? Or 100?

No it's the same problem;

3 + 3 + 3 = close to 10 as can get.

33 + 33 + 33 = close to 100 as can get.

.333 .333 .333 close to 1 as can get;

That's not that intersting, consider .999 goes into all odd and even numbers; as in;

6.999 goes into 7
And 7.999 goes into 8.

For the difference between 7 and 8 is 1.

As 7 is 7; 1's and 8 is 8; 1's

And the whole, 6.1... 6.2... 6.3... 6.4....6.8... 6.9... 7

The .999.. situation may be due to:

If you have one (1) rectangle cake, and you cut it into 3 even pieces (this is to your physics reality question) 1/3, 1/3, and 1/3

.3, .3, .3

.333..., .333.., .333...

The missing amount is removed from the equation! By the need to remove volume from the whole complete 1, by the act of cutting with the knife, crumbling a blades width of material.

For real though, what changes between the perfect working representation of 1/3 1/3 1/3 .. 3/3

And the decimal? Is it something with 0 and base 10 that make this .999.. awkwardness?

I geuss after all this thread I would agree that .999.... Is not a possible number in any sense of the concept, and that it is just the signifying of a 1.

I geuss fractions brush away the issue, fractions are an ideal idea,

3 Cavemen could have come across a snake to eat and said, 'we each get one even piece', 1/3 1/3 and 1/3.

But with no tape measure, and even if they had one we would see this pesky difficulty, they would only aproximate to the best of their ability. Or find a single stick that fit across the snake body 3 even times, or a blade of grass, to use to proportion equally.

Using a unit of 1 we hope everything can be evenly measured and proportioned by it. But because our macro scale, unable to see the minut distances of the atoms of the snake, it's hard to demarcated perfectly evenly.

So why is splitting 1 into 3 equal pieces less perfect than splitting 1 into 4 equal pieces?

Because the proportional balence of the base 10 number system, has the relation between 0 and 10,

It is like laying bricks; easier to evenly stack 4 bricks 2 on top of 2, making sure their edges are level; than 3:
2 on the bottom, and 1 in top perfectly absolutely equally in-between the 2

it's not from oddness, it's from it not dividing a power of 2 or 5. All even things do, but some odd things(Anything divisible by 5) also do.

if you look at how long division works with 1 as the numerator, then it's pretty clear. Either the division is completed, which means that some power of 10 is divisible by the number(And so, some power of 10 has all the factors of the number) or it isn't completed, and so no matter how high the power of 10 is, it won't share factors with that number.
10 is 2*5, so any number that consists of factors 2^x*5^y will eventually divide 10, and any that have prime-numbered factors other than 2 or 5 won't.

Because 5 may as well equal 2, or 1/2

If 10 is 4
5 is 2

This whole situation may seem to be due to the 1d ideal point like nature of Numbers.

And then trying to finitely demarcate mesurement distances to them, and then also trying to squeeze infinitesimals at every point between any number.

I'm not sure I follow. Is this about ratios?
It seems to me that 'if 10 is 4, 5 is 2' is true under a certain ratio (4/5ths), but I'm not sure what that means to you. If you're speaking in the context of that, you introduce 2 as 0.8, and when you scale everything down you should find that '0.8 or 2' would have the same effect, although it complicates things for a couple reasons.

The reason it's anything divisible by 5 is because 5 is one of the factors of 10, the other being 2, and the completion of division is based on the numbers having common factors, when raised to some power of 10.

>This whole situation may seem to be due to the 1d ideal point like nature of Numbers.

This is an interesting idea. Do you have demonstrations of this in mind?

it depends on what one means by the '...'.
It's worth asking someone involved in this conflict whether they consider '.333...' in base 10 to be the same as 0.1 in base 3. If so, then 0.333... = 1/3, so 3*.333... = 3/3 = 1, but if they don't(Because it is a decimal division that never ends, and therefore can't be equal to an endpoint that cannot exist), then 3*.333... should be understood to be 'infinitesimally short' of 1.

I think I was pondering, in base 10, 10 is the limit of a row.

5 is an odd number; but evenly in the center making 2 equal halves up out of 10.

Imagine 10 equal bricks in a line on the ground. There is a line split down the middle with 5 on one side and 5 on the other.

If you start from 1 on the left and count right, the 5th brick will be a certain brick.

From 10th brick counting to the left, a different brick would be the 5th brick.

But when counting from 0:

0..1..2..3..4..5..6..7..8..9..10

5 is perfectly in the middle.

I think there is something to this that may be relevant to the .999... Quandry, where numbers don't line up evenly

>This is an interesting idea. Do you have demonstrations of this in mind?

Well first off, it starts with considering that 1 is a perfect idea of a single whole, the idea of 1 is the foundation of it all, a singular perfectly equal object; by which if you imagined another exactly exactly like it, then you would have 2 of the exact exact same objects.

583 is then just 583 of those objects.

Then to organize the number system and I realized this nessecity due to convienience;. Imagine 500 Different words to label the numbers between 1 and 500; ebauh and kfjd and keirj and ueud and 300 numbers later, the number eoifjd and eidurjd and eirje and ofjej

No. We have twenty, thirty, forty
Twen...two..... Thir....three, third.....for....four

200 and 30

700 and forth four

So base ten is a labeling system convienience. To reuse the same terms, to make a pattern to not have every single new addition of +1 +1 +1 +1 be a brand new word term.

So all quantity is rooted in 1. As opposed or in relation to 0, the absense of quantity.

(Now I dont know how related to our experience in reality this came about by, we have 3 apples, 1 and 1 and 1, but nature is not perfectly ideal so the apples are not equal so these 1's are not equal; but anyway, you can cut an apple in half, so the 1 was actually made of more than 1 the whole time; the ideal version of 1 would be a 1d point; but then that would imply indivisibility)

Imagine a string of mountain peaks like ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
It's like each tippy 1d pin prick point is a number, and in-between the peaks are the equal distance between the numbers;

I mean yeah I don't know, .999.. is like getting near the tippy tip peak, and then getting a ladder, and keeping climbing straight up to the moon, or perpendicular to the line of peaks, once you get to .9.

As it's easy enough imagining 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
It's easy to imagine
.1 .2 .3 .4 .5 .6 .7 .8 .9

But in the journey from peak to peak, when you arrive at .9 which is like to 1 what .1 is to 0;

To consider .99 or .999 or .999999999999999999

There comes a point where it doesn't make sense that you could still possibly be moving closer to the peak at all.

This is the mixing of ideal and physical reality, ideally anything that can be imagined is valid. In ideals sense is not required, nothing is held or holding back, whatever is said goes.

I can say .999..., But I don't know the meaning of this in reality.

1 is an ideal concept and a real concept, 1 pebble and 1 pebble are not equal, but more similar than 1 pomegranate, and 1 pomegranate contains 100 seeds and a billion atoms, in fundamental physics it's trying to get to the parts that are indivisible; hopefully a quark and electron cannot further be divided in parts; of the pomegranate these would be more akin .00000001s than 1s, that make the pomegranate 1.

See the number 1 can be viewed as a single pomegranate, and the number 1 can be viewed as being full of infinite atoms.

So in this sense, maybe it goes back to, 0 and 1;

0 is the idea of there existing absolutely No reality;

The ultimate idea of 1 as opposed to 0 is the Whole that is the Uni(one)Verse

This 1 ultimate fact of collection total existence; is composed of near infinite parts.

So the 1 is at once looked at as the most possibly finite. And the most possibly infinite.

1 is composed of infinite decimal parts.

What really is the difference between .9 and .999999999999999?

If you showed that difference distancely, spatially, on a ruler, how large of a difference would that be?

And then how much more distance would .999999999999999999999999999999999999999 be?

The more you add the less difference in distance it becomes right?

So at some point the difference in distance practically stops

.99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999

10 is the "0" place holder of the next row.

1 is not the first number;

Because one itself requires the distance from 0 to reach 1, so we so don't start counting At 1, we start counting at 0 to 1, the distance space inbetween 0 to 1 is the first number. And once you begin to get on the other side of 9, you enter 10 space.

Okay this is better than >>14639261 but you should work on using words to mean the same things other people understand them as and using different words if you need to express a different concept.

>>14639274
To write down the correct explanation I think you are getting at:

Infinite decimals starting with 0.9 represent numbers in the space starting at 0.9 and ending at 1.0. We call a space like this an "interval."
Infinite decimals starting with 1.0 represent numbers in the interval starting at 1.0 and ending at 1.1.

We can denote the interval starting at 0.9 and ending at 1.0 as [0.9, 1.0]. The square brackets indicate the starting and ending numbers are included. If we instead wrote (0.9, 1.0), that would indicate that 0.9 and 1.0 were not included. We can also write things like [0.9, 1.0), which indicates that 0.9 is included but 1.0 is not included.

In this notation, an infinite decimal starting with 0.9 represents a number in the interval [0.9, 1.0].
An infinite decimal starting with 1.0 represents a number in the interval [1.0, 1.1].

The number 1, being at the boundary point, is in both intervals. It is at the end of [0.9, 1.0] and at the beginning of [1.0, 1.1]. It is the last number which can be represented by an infinite decimal starting with 0.9 and the first number that can be represented by an infinite decimal starting with 1.0. So it has two infinite decimal names, 0.999... and 1.000... .

In general, every number that can be represented exactly as a terminating decimal has two infinite decimal names. For example, 21.624 has the names 21.623999... and 21.624000... .

Let's say a cake was 10 inches long, and you wanted to cut it into 3 even pieces;

You take out your tape measure; what are the 2 numbers you would make your cuts on?

Im geussing 3.3 inches, 6.6 inches

The tape measure perfectly on the left side is on 0. Perfectly on the second side 10 inches.

The intervals are:

0...........3.3
3.3........6.6
6.6.......10.0

Is any of this situation due to;
Starting at 0
3.3 used by 2 seperate intervals
6.6 used by 2 seperate intervals

Oh and here might be another relavant idea;
Imagine a number is like a footstool, you walk to that footstool and to stand on it is occupy that numbers value.

But, to walk toward it, and not stand on it, but just touch your foot against it's side is also to touch that numbers value?

In the first cut at 3.3 inches;
We approach from the left side in the first interval, we cut right in top of 3.3, making an interval that ends at 3.3 and one that begins at 3.3

These intervals are not standing on top in the center of 3.3, but touching the 3.3 footstool from either sides?

Cakes aren't made of points; they're made of molecules, and the molecules lie between the specified boundary points.

If you wanted to cut up a set of numbers instead of a cake, then you would have to choose which set each of the boundary points went to. For example, you could partition [0, 10] into [0, 3 1/3], (3 1/3, 6 2/3], and (6 2/3, 10].

We need to start from the right, and travel infinitesimally to the left, to reach the minimum right side or the 1.

About this halo relation to, I just picked a few small numbers but like:

3, 4, 5

5 + 3 = 8
4 is half

11, 12, 13

11+ 13 = 24
12 is half

27, 28, 29
27+29= 56
28 is half

But anyway;

So what is the absolutely first number after 1? If .999... Is the absolutely first number before 1, to the degree that it """practically is 1"""

1.000...1?

1.000... is just 1.0000000000000...
Is just 1.0
Is just 1.

Unless you are suggesting the 0.000... turns into 0.00000000....00001 eventually

In which case I geuss that's equally hard to understand how a gureenteed repeated 9 turns into (1)0 as gurenteed repeating 0 turns into 1.

How can no number exist after 1?

Ok now I'm seeing something again I think. Forget everything after 1.... Because it's nothing essentially novel..

It's just the same idea of 0 to 1, repeating.

So the first number after 1, would be the same idea essentially, as the first number after 0.

Once you get to 1 it's game over, that's all you really need. And! Maybe! The "numbers" in-between 0 and 1 are not "numbers" but only ratios.

Ways of dividing/splitting 1.

Which.... Maybe...I geuss... Can be done infinitly?

It's one thing to be beaten over the head into accepting maybe in some twisted way of looking at things, .999.... Could eventually turn into 1.

But much harder to imagine ONLY 0's, turning into 1.

So it's not that, 1.000..... Auto turns into.
1.000....1

In this case it seems it must be specified, 1.000...1

But also the very idea is absurd, because the 1 at the end would never be reached.

So to piggy back on this post >>14654132
Trying to totally adjust my perspective.

Not to view numbers and the number line as nessecerily needing to logically go continumnously, from number to number,

But Just axiomatically saying.

0 is the idea of no quantity.
1 is the idea of quantity.

All possible ratios are contained in the distance between them.

It is not a physical scaffolding that can be constructed from 0 to sturdily hoist up 1.

It is just that 1 can be infinitly divided linfinitly ways. None of those divisions have to be practically existing or possible. It is just possible to state a code function, that references the idea of the impossible, and this reference refers to a general but specific location in the sequence of all those possible/impossible theoretical ideas.

Ultimately the numerical rules may not refer to any ultimate true physical law.

Physics and physical laws are not at any given time infinite.

So the pure ruler (math, quantity, numerics, comparisons) can proportion and ratio itself to any physical data, and run it's functions until the nature of the physics is computed.

Pardon me for joining the talk
The logical conclusion from 0.999... is that there would be only 9's following one after another.
That means that if you move the infinite size of those 9's to the center of the caculation you would end up with 0.999... ..9 and nothing really changed
Then someone joins and says 2 - 0.999... ..9 and you end up with 1.000... ..1

So surely it wont be reached but when the size is infinite and you do the calculation you are gonna end up with that answer

Its only a different perspective and not absurd at all (when talking about infinites)

so with 9/9, at some point the 9 decimal becomes a 10 an so the 9 decimal before that becomes a 10, until the last decimal becomes a 10 and so the number becomes 1.0

Infinitely many numbers exists after 1. But there is no first such number. If there was a first such number x, (x+1)/2 would be a number after 1 but before x, contradicting the assumption x was the first such number.

Which makes sense because .999...9 is meaningless to right,

As much as, .999...8 is,

Or maybe since I don't know I will ask, what is the number before .999...?

Well that is what real numbers originally were, long before they were expressed as decimals. Read Book 5 of the Elements.

>Magnitudes are said to be in the same ratio, the first to the second, and the third to the fourth, when equal multiples of the first and the third either both exceed, are both equal to, or are both less than, equal multiples of the second and the fourth, respectively, being taken in corresponding order, according to any kind of multiplication whatever.

Well it's obvious, because this thing starts by:
1/3

So to say 1/3 = .333...

Is to say, .333... Is not a number, it is not a quantity, it is a ratio, namely the ratio, 1/3

All the confusion is from thinking, 1 and 2 and 5 and 8 are numbers, and .333... Is a number, but it's not a number, it's the ideal endless computation of a ratio.

But now, .384 and .373733 are numbers, even they also are likely ratios, but it's the infinitude ... that suggests the non numberness,

The only thing then is that infinity is numberness, because all though the end can't be counted to, we know it at least contains 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 some 5 and 8448838484884 etc. Which are numbers.

But then too, the same thing, .9 is a number, is a quality is it?
If I want to cut something 10 inches long in 10 even pieces one of those pieces will be labeled the .9th piece.

So too, .999.... Is an endless computation, a ratio, but we know it does contain numberness

My bad, integer is what I meant.

0 and 1 are the only integers that exist. (5 is just five 1's, 564 is just five hundred sixty four 1's); fractions and decimals are ratios between integers.

How many 1's go into how many 1's.

Four 1's go into eight 1's 2 times

One 1 goes into ten 1's ten times,

How many times does three 1's go into ten 1's evenly?

You need to take an extra 1, besides the three, and break it into many pieces, and give a little to each group of three 1's, till the three groups of three 1's approached, ten 1's total.

And you cannot do this because....

Think in terms of measuring a recipe;

The recipe calls to make 3 pieces of food of perfectly equal grams, with a 10 gram mixture.

A mixing bowl has the mixture of perfectly exactly 10 grams.

You have 3 bowls;
Bowl A gets 3 grams
Bowl B gets 3 grams
Bowl C gets 3 grams

The mixing bowl has 1 gram left.

You split that gram in 3 and put it in the 3 bowls.

The mixing bowl has .1 gram left.

You split that .1 gram into 3 equal parts, and spread them among the 3 bowls.

There is .03 grams left in the mixing bowl.

You split that into 3 equal groups to spread among the 3 bowls.

You are left with .01 grams in the mixing bowl.

You seperate that into 3 equal pieces, to spread among the 3 bowls.

You are left with .003333333 grams in the mixing bowl.

You divide it by 3 to spread among the 3 bowls.........

I know I am 10 days late, but what gets me is that the same people that would gladly accept there is some infinitesimal difference, so that 0.99... =/=, are the same ones that would refuse to believe in different sized infinities, but you need both for surreal numbers.

Hmmm really?

If you have .03 grams in a mixing bowl, and evenly distribute it to 3 bowls, you will have .01 left in the mixing bowl? That doesn't seem right.

If you have .03 grams in a mixing bowl, and evenly distribute it between 3 bowls, will you not give .01 to each bowl, and be left with 0 grams in the mixing bowl?

"0.999..." is a finite number.
The measure of redacting continuity is for the purpose of practical applications of assuming prerequisit accuracy.
For example, PI is continuous, however it isn't valuable to use a trillion digits of PI in order to use PI to get an appreciable result.
It is as useful to use "0.999..." whether there are 11948 nines or unlimited.

Yep, never mind, .1 divided by 3 is .0333....

Which yes proves my statement wrong, but proves the thread wrong, because 1 can never be perfectly divided into 3 equal parts.

But WAIT ACTUALLY I don't get why you wouldnt keep doing this dividing, until you were at the atom scale and left with how many atoms? Could you be left with 3 atoms?

How many atoms are in 1 gram of _______?

Could it be after dividing into 3 and dividing into 3 and dividing into 3, eventually there are only 3 atoms left?

This would only suggest that unlike the infinitude of abstract symbolic numbers, reality does always have ground quanta limits.

But does it even make sense, or would it just imply the substance could not have accurately been referred to as a unit of 10, if after being many times divided by 3, it resulted in 3 atoms remaining?

That, gram. 1 gram. Split in 3.

.3 grams in one bowl

That's where you get the rest from to tack on each bow.

But we see how without grounding in physics reality, this abstract process repeats forever with no signs of equalling 0.

There for no signs of in totally having 3 equal parts that equal 1

Stop shilling, does not matter if we use base9 in math, then the problem would be dividing with 2
You just change base and the problem goes to other divisions

Base 1 you could do easily everything and always get a result
1/111 = 0.01
1/11 = 0.1
1/1 =1
Its only a base thingy
>1/111 simply means 1/3 in base 1

Logic is basically base1 math, and thats why computers works so efficiently.. There is no useless crap there, but they translate everything to our crappy needs lightning fast

There are fundamental smallest possible particles.

So in reality you can nearly count up to infinity, but there is no infinitesimal.

If you keep dividing eventually you reach a fundamental smallest unit.

If you have 100 quarks and you want to make 3 even piles, it is impossible
