All the repeating numbers are equal!!!!
Okay, I finally decided to post something interesting besides photos:
I was thinking that you know how we count from 1 to 10, and how it's all based on the ten digits because of our fingers (ten fingers). Well, as there have shown to be any number of base systems from binary (base two) to Octal and Hexadecimal (bases eight and sizteen respecively), I was thinking how God might count. See, if God has no reason to have anything but a units place, he would just keep on going with single symbols representing numbers from 1 to infinity. It would be a "base-less" system literally in that there is no need to go into a second (or more) division of the symbols in what we call the tens and hundreds place, etc. (as in base ten).
Now, I got to thinking about fractions in this way and something very peculiar occured.
If we say there exists a number that is 1/n where n equals a repeating number, then we have the possibility of having any and every 1/n equal to each other when n is a repeating number. It is because a number such as "bar234" (that in Gods numbering system would be a single sympbol) would be vitually equal to "bar872" (another single symbol) because they approach infinity, and so "1/that number" would also be equal to "1/the other number".
Help!
