I_Pwn_Crackpots Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 I dare anybody to try and disprove the fact that 0.9999999..... repeating doesn't equal 1. In particular, read some of the proofs on this website here: http://www.qntm.org/?pointnine Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the guy Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 well all numbers go on forever (1.oooo..... and 34.6590000...... e.t.c.). 0.99999999....... is going to carry on forever but the '0' in front of it will always be there. there will always be nothing there. 1.000000000.... will always be 1.00000... with the 1 there. there is something there. there is 1, there is a whole number in front of it. a whole has been added to it. therefore 0.9999999.... cannot be the same as 1.0000000.....
