[1 paradox] Why 0.999... is not equal to 1? Written in 2012 The current mathematic theory tells us, 1>0.9, 1>0.99, 1>0.999, ..., but at last it says 1=0.999..., a negation of itself (Proof 0.999... =1: 1/9=0.111..., 1/9x9=1, 0.111...x9=0.999..., so 1=0.999...). So it is totally a paradox, name it …

1 + 1 = 2 is an Axiom and therefore true by definition (and then only in an non curved space (Euclidian) Math IIRC)

BTW as programmers we all know that 1 + 1 = 10
