What is this crap?
Okay, well, I guess I am dumb, cause this is just to rich....
Turns out that .99999 Repeating (ie, to infinity) is actually equal to 1.... Really.... I'm not kidding.....No Joke!
But Matt, that's just nuts!
As I myself thought, but turns out that if you go on forever, there is no difference between the two... I cant really get my mind around it, it starts to get kinda fuzzy as I look beyond about 100 9s... but basically, if you never stop the 9s there is never a value that can be added to it to make it equal 1, and there is nothing that can be subtracted from 1 to make it equal to .999 repeating.... thus it is 1
However, and here I am talking out my ass, so take it for what it is worth,
If you have .999 repeating , then is the ying/yang balance to that
.(repeating zeros)1?
I'm pretty sure that is not something that can be done in terms of true math, but in my mind that makes sense?
Oh well, enjoy making your brain hurt thinking bout this!
