The earth will most likely always survive, of course its us human beings I'm worried about - we're a tad more fragile. As for it surviving millions of years, aye - because the natural system found an equilibrium which was comparatively stable. Unfortunately now we come along, and were...

Oh and for smarter people than me http://www.mathsisfun.com/calculus/limits-infinity.html the talk on what happens when 1 is divided by approaching infinity Chris

9 *.99etc = 8.99etc is only a problem if you refuse .99etc = 1 because if .999etc = 1 then x.99etc = x+1 so 8.99etc = 9. the reason why it is this way is because a number is defined by being where there is not a number that can be found between it and another number. Since .99etc goes to...

Ive posted the proof above, .99etc is exactly 1 Chris

ok to start .99 reoccurring is a zero followed by infinity nines after the decimal place, not a lot of zeros but infinity, it never ends - this is important. so we have .999etc times it by ten we have 9.999etc which is equal to ten lots of .99etc important at this point is that we...
