• Eternal smallest difference vs no difference

    From mitchrae3323@gmail.com@21:1/5 to All on Wed Apr 26 10:17:55 2023
    .999 repeating and unity are separate quantities.
    An infinitely small difference gives them
    another kind of behaving like equality.

    Eternal smallest infinitesimal build
    the infinite sequence of .999 repeating.

    Nope. You are wrong, and have been wrong all along. Math is not your strong point, Mitch, and neither is your logic.

    1 divided by 3 is 1/3, which is 0.333...

    1/3 times 3 is 1, and 0.333... times 3 is also 1. However, 0.333 times 3 is also 0.999... so obviously 1=0.999...

    .333 times three is not one. It is .999 repeating instead.
    There are two different representations of an infinitely
    small difference.

    In a different thread, Mitch, I asked you to tell me how 1/3 was expressed in decimal form... and you told me it was 0.333... Are now telling me that you were incorrect? You are apparently very confused. As I've said, math is not your strong point... but
    then, neither is physics... so read a dang textbook!

    No being mean when I make the observation that studying
    real(tm) physics is beyond his capacity. Sad but true that.

    Those are two different representations of an infinitely small difference instead of zero.
