Name: .999...9 =/= 1 2007-05-12 6:26 ID:/qcJW6wi

Assumptions
If A = B, then
a)  A-B = 0
b) A = (A+B)/2 = B

If A > B, then
a)  A-B > 0
b) A > (A+B)/2 > B


Let A = 1, B = .999...9
a) A-B = 1-.999...9 = .000...1 =/= 0
b) (A+B)/2 = (1+.999...9)/2 = 1.999...9/2 = 1.999...95 < A

Therefore, .999...9 =/= 1

The real question is: do subatomic particles have components that are smaller and smaller until infinity? Is there any other force that can make this irrelevant? Finally, you must ask your self if infinity exists in this universe. I don't care either way but I prefer to think that it doesn't.
