there is never a 1 at the end
you can't define an end to reach, to add a 1 to it
it's 0's all the way down


You can still imagine and utter such a meaning.
And you can even express it mathematically.

consider the set of all sets that have never been considered

this is why you need axiomatic mathematical formulation
because otherwise some dumbshit comes along and thinks he's #1

the "..." doesn't not exist in the Mathematics, so right full number.

Ho wait, you can't.

@ infinitesimal - your name... it suggests a number greater than zero, and less than anything else o.o

I suppose to feed the trolls but when using infinitesimal can you divide by it? Or is it equivalent to dividing by zero, also 1-infinitesimal 0=0.999...

infinitesimal = 0?

1-0.999....=infinitesimal ??
