Superimposition of reality- Mathematics already had the clue!

 What is the answer for 0.999999... _ 1.0000 ? 

a) < 

 b) =

c) >

Many of you will be tempted to answer the obvious a) < 

Right, 

NO, it is the wrong answer. 

Correct answer is b) = 

To see it physically. Draw a rectangle, cut it into three parts. each eqaling 1/3 i.e., 0.3333... Add them up and it becomes 0.9999... 

But, 1/3 + 1/3 + 1/3= 1/3 x 3 =1, Right, so 1= 0.999999...

Now, let us turn to the pure mathematical algebraic side.

we shall start with the obvious,

3x 1/3 =1 = RHS

Now, 

LHS= 3x 0.3333... = 0.9999...

RHS = 1

So, 0.9999... = 1.00000

There is no approximation, no assumption its plain mathematical operation with all valid simple mathematical operation . Both numbers, apparently different are representing one and the same point on a number line! 

In fact, any whole no., n can be represented as (n-1).9999... because you can break every no. as  (n-1) +1 = (n-1).99999... 

Meaning, 

3=2.99999...

4=3.99999...

5=4.99999....

and so on...

Now let's revisit the equation:

3 x 1/3=1

Or .9999... = 1.0000...

or, 1.0000.. - 0.999999.. = 0.0000......1   (NOTE IT !)

Also, 1- 3x1/3= 1-1 = 0.0000000.... 

So, 0.0000...1 = 0.000000

Now, comparing place to place at the last point at infinity, If infinity is an exact point it has both the value 0 and 1. Did quantum physicist discovered the obvious!
