Proof

[Reach]

All that's being debated at this point is semantics.

Truth. And that is all there really is to debate because the entire problem with the word proof is that it is not properly defined. It's like intelligence.

Oh and

Simplying saying .9 REPEATING = 1 is false.


a decimal place with an INFINITE number of 9's behind it IS ONE (by definition). There is a very crutial difference between the 2. The fact of the matter is, if something is repeating, that means that it is happening and its rate of happening can be measured. Something like this can never extend infinitely, it will only approach 1 forever and never equal one.

It's sort of a matter of bounding something. Infinity exists without any bound, so you can truthfully say a decimal with an infinite number of 9's behind it equals one, because without a bound it exists everywhere all at once, which means it has no rate. If something has a rate it is bounded and isn't infinite.

Hence, for example, we refer to the universe as being completely and udderly finite, though it is a popular misunderstanding of the world infinity that propagates the idea of an infinite visible universe.
