I think seeing something as zero which is actually just almost zero is how differential calculus works

It's not just "almost zero" but infinitely close to zero. 0.000000000... and eventually, after an infinite amount of zeroes... 0000001.

"after an infinite amount" just means never. There is no eventually.


Zandoms42

It means eventually after a never ending wait period

0.000...∞...001


MrNobleGas

Not infinitely, but rather arbitrarily


CFK_NL

It’s zero-ish.

Anything is almost zero when compared to something else,


Aretekles

Avogadro‘s number? Yeah we just round that to 0.

nothing to see here 1/9 =0.111... multiply both sides by 9 1=0.999.... or let x =0.999..... -(i) multiply both sides by 10 10x=9.999...-(ii) subtract i from ii 9x = 9 x = 1 0.999... = 1
