Re: Totally right!

Yes, you are correct. 0.9999..... = 1. Equals exactly.
So infinity and 1 are one and the same? Sounds exactly like quantum theory - the wavefunction of, say a human body, goes to infinity(overlapping other wavefunctions). The hard question is why do we always see 1 human instead of an infinite human? Do you have a personal philosophy on this?
