Say I'm in a room, and I want to cross to the other side of the room. First, I'd have to cross halfway across the room. Then, I'd have to cross halfway across that halfway. Then I'd have to cross halfway across that new distance. Essentially, I'd never reach the other side of the room because I'd always have to cross halfway from my current position, right? Of course, we all know that's not true. And the reason is, when we cross the room, we are essentially adding an infinite amount of halves. 1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8... on to infinity. Of course, that adds up to one. In fact you can kind of think of .999... that way. .9 + .09 + .009 ... on to infinity. As though, instead of crossing halfway through the room, you crossed nine-tenths the way across. [/quote] I guess this would be true, however, you'd never get there anytime in your lifespan. [u]Fun Fact![/u] Did you know it is very likely that Socrates did not exist. [/quote] Really? That explains why I've spent 10 years trying to get to the refrigerator unsuccessfully.
