Will somebody care to explain how "0.99999999..." is "1" in the real world and under what circumstances? The explanation about there being a limit is mute as there is no observable limit between "0.99999999999999..." and "1". Also, in the real world there is never a speed of 1m/sec. If you have to be precise, and in this case we must be, there can be 0.999999...m/sec or 1.0000... m/sec but not 1m/sec. We use 1m/sec as a rounded value for simplicity, but that does not mean that such an exact value exists. When you apply the real speed, which will always be different than the rounded value 1m/sec., you'll see that the fly will never touch the wall. Example:
Distance between the wall and the fly is:
S=0.99999999999999999999999999999...metres
v=0.99999999999999999999999999999... m/sec
t=S/v
How much is infinity/infinity? Again infinity
