1/3 = .333-[infinite]

[Dooby]

1/3 + 1/3 + 1/3 = 1 how?

Shouldn't 3/3 be .999 [infinte]?

".999 [infinte]" = 1

".999 [infinte]" = 1

0.999... - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia...

Does that only prove that mathematics is flawed?

I mean, how can two separate numbers equal the same thing?

Not really.

It just means that it's impossible to cut anything into exact thirds unless the universe is analog.

Even though we have evidence that the universe is digital, I still say it's analog.

Come again?

Like....

We have atoms and whatnot, which indicate that the universe is composed of discrete units. But as far as we know, there's always something smaller. Those atoms are tiny, but they're composed of subatomic particles.

If the universe is digital, then it has a smallest unit. Some tiny package of matter or energy that we cannot possibly split or divide. If it's analog, then there is no smallest unit.
