NS is infinite, it is not '0' but in reality NS is -0.0>inf<1
I am not a mathematician and only got up to College Calculus but from my understanding there is no such creature as -0 as 0 is neither positive nor negative. Thus -0=0. Therefore -0.0=0 right? As far as 0.0000000 this is again is 0. Do you mean 0.00000001 (not -0.0>inf<1, whatever that means???)? If so then this technically would be zero as 0.00000001 could never be reached. Someone let know if I am wrong in my assumptions.

Only that -0.00000001 isn't merely technically zero. It's exactly zero. Sticking the 1 on the end of the infinite string of zeroes makes no difference whatsoever.
Thanks Paul,
I see the logic in this. It is the same thing as saying that + 1 = .
