Anywhere. [/quote]That does not explain anything. That is a re-assertion of the concept.[/quote]I thought you were asking if the 0.999... stuff was usable in the real world. Clarify? [/quote]I was asking if it could be confirmed by a real world measurement, not if it could be applied based on the concept itself, but an actual trial. I almost immediately edited my post, however, to reflect that I understand the impossibility of this. It was hypothetical more than anything.
