    Wow.
    That was completely unnecessary spam.

    But, I guess this might be too.

    Technically at infinity looking from a physics standpoint, it would equal one. Theoretically it wouldn't, but in any real life thing... it would SLOWLY approach the point that the number would be so close to 1; it would be indistinguishable.

    What on earth are you talking about? .9999.. is not a real life thing, it is a concept. The concept is that there are an infinite number of 9's following the decimal point, not that some fairy is writing 9's at some set speed, they are already there, the entire infinite amount of them.

    It has nothing to do with physics, at all. This a math problem plane and simple.

    You can't round .99999... up, because you can't add infinite 0's after a decimal, and then a 1.

    Thats like saying 2 rounded up = 2. No, it isn't, 2 = 2, no rounding needed. Same with .99999... It is equal to one, not close to one, not almost one. It is one.
