jaidyn999, 1 year ago Actually infinity is easy to understand. If you were to walk in a straight line, you would never get to the end of the earth - it is infinite. Its finitism that is impossible to understand. 3*(1/3) = 3/3 = 1 3*(1/3) = 3*(0.333…) = 0.999… 0.999… = 1 This a problem of the number base you’re using, not infinity. One third is a finite number which cannot be expressed in base 10.
