0.999...
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia.
In mathematics, 0.999_ (also denoted 
, 
or 
) is a recurring decimal that no matter what the so called 'scientist' say is in no way, shape or form equal to 1. They are two completely different numbers with no relation between them. Do you even see a '1' in '.999_'? I didn't think so.
Lets look at the facts here, there is exactly one digit in the number 1. In .999_ there are infinite digits. In order for the two numbers to be equal .999_ would have to meet a nice .0_1 and perhaps take said number out to dinner and a movie and if all goes well, have a little addition. This act would then create a number that is indeed equal to 1.

[edit] The Devastating Truth
To say that .999_ is equal to 1 is simply done to cover up a devastating truth, mathematics is broke! It is not the perfect language that is foolproof. The virus of math has spread into the brains of men with abnormally large IQs and has convinced them that there can't be anything wrong with math. Which is why they try so hard with their proofs and equations to try and convince the common man that numbers like .999_ are equal to 1.
[edit] Fraction proof
| 0.333… | = 1⁄3 |
| 0.666… | = 2⁄3 |
| 0.999… | = 0.333_ + 0.666_ |
| 1 | = 1⁄3+2⁄3 |
To further understand how .999_ does not equal 1, let's do some simple arithmetic. 1⁄3 is equal to .333_ while 2⁄3 is equal to .666_. What happens when you add the two decimals together? Without your TI-83 plus this might be hard, especially if you're too busy playing Tetris with it. The answer is .999_. Now add the fractions 1⁄3 and 2⁄3 together. The answer to that is 1. We know that CAN'T be right! Since 1 is not equal to .999_, it can be deduced that 1⁄3 doesn't equal .333_ and 2⁄3 is not equal to .666_. And in fact, a moment's thought demonstrates this: for the same reason that .999_ keeps getting closer to 1 but never gets there, .333_ keeps getting closer to 1⁄3 but never gets there. Now do you see what lies they are telling us? You must realize the truth! There is no mathematics!
[edit] Algebraic proof
| c | = 0.999… |
| 10c | = 9.999… |
| 10c − c | = 9.999… − 0.999… |
| 9c | = 9 |
| c | = 1 |
Look at this algebraic proof and tell me straight up that you understand it. If you do, then you sir are a liar. Basicaly how it work is that .999_ times 10 is 9.999_. No shit. The next step they force you to do is to subtract .999_ from 9.999_ because as they say "trailing zeros do not change a number". WTF kind of half-assed excuse is that?? Yeah of course getting rid of the decimals that unequal the number to 1 will make it equal to 1. It's like saying the only way to get rid of poverty is to get rid of poor people. Sure that would work but then who going to mow my lawn?
[edit] Proof by Induction
Censored due to the fact that it could make an average and below average uncyclopedian head asplode.
[edit] Subtraction proof
Another proof is to subtract 0.999_ from 1, which yields 0.000…, which is total bullshit. 1-.999_ should equal .0_1, this is just pure logic, which no one in academia seems to have.
[edit] Be Skeptical of Education
Since it is now proven that .999_ isn't equal to 1 we know that math is wrong. This leads to the question, what other lies are they telling us? Perhaps A isn't the first letter of the alphabet, or square pegs do fit into round holes. They're sitting in their big rooms trying to figure out how else to screw over the kids in school. Perhaps it's even an alien race trying to dumb us down so that they can easily take us over with the power of .999_, but that's just stupid.
[edit] .999
Despite confusion, 0.999_ is not the same number as .999. Whereas 0.999_ is evidently betweeen 0 and 1, .999 has the odd property of not being between any two real numbers, hence the lack of a leading digit.
[edit] In religion
.999_ is also the number of the antiJesus. 666 was already taken as the number of the beast or antiChrist, but the antiJesus needs a number too! He was just sitting all alone at IHOP one day, reading the sports section when he realized he didn't have a number. So he asked God to unmake the universe and then re-make it with this special number given a special power. God told the antiJesus to get lost, but that doesn't change the fact that antiJesus claimed .999_ as his über-special number. Religious scholars believe that .999_, when antiJesus says it three times backwards, will grant him the power and fortitude to lead antichristians to antivictory in the antipocalypse. Then they get confused and have to go eat pudding.
