I’m not a math person at all, so I’m not really debating your proof, but it seems to me that if 0.9• = 1, then what does 0.1• equal? It “fits” perfectly into the “space” between 0.9• and 1, but if 0.9•=1 then 0.1• should equal 0, right? Except it doesn’t, because 0.1<0.1• and 0.1 definitely isn’t 0.
I definitely understand why some religious people think numbers are a tool of Satan.

can 0.3• + 0.3• + 0.3• be really be added to equal 0.9• the same way that 0.3 + 0.3 + 0.3 = 0.9 though? and if so, is it proven or assumed? im not saying ur wrong btw, just asking. and does 0.000…001 equal 0?

0.3• has infinte decimals, 0.0000…001 does not. No matter how many zeroes you put before the one, it will never be infinite, so it’s not equal to 0.
You simply cannot have “Infinity + 1” decimals, since infinity + 1 = infinity.
