tonight i told wcd a simple statement that started a really long (and semi-winded) debate that went something like this:waw: alam mo, isa sa mga paboritong number ko ang 0.99 bar (that's a decimal point followed by infinitely many 9's)
wcd: huh? bakit naman?
waw: 'coz i find it really interesting that 0.99 bar is *exactly* equal to 1
wcd: 'di ba approximately 1 lang un? kasi it only approaches 1 but it won't really reach 1 because there will always be that teeny tiny gap..
waw: nope. 0.99 bar is not an approximation of 1. it IS 1 (sabay smile na nakakaloko)
hahaha. well.. that went on for quite a while. until i managed to convince him that i wasn't pulling his leg :p nyahaha. i don't blame his confusion. the idea of infinity tends to have that effect on people (and aliens too) hahaha xp
infinity.. and beyond.
wow. just like 0.99 bar, this thing is defying all my logic and reason..
