What the fuck. Why is that true. They got different numbers in them.

"with a one at the end (of infinity)"
There is no end of infinity! That's the whole point. There isn't a one at the end because THERE IS NO END.

For purely theoretical math, yes, 0.999... is EXACTLY equal to 1. It's no different than writing 2/2 or cos(0) or 3*5/15. It's exactly equal to 1.

You're talking about mathematical rigour? That's laughable. Find me a mathematician on the planet who thinks 0.999... is not 1, and I'll give you my first born son.
