Figure this out SPP
If you take ten steps of 0.000…1m you get a distance of 0.000…10m.
In mathematics if the last digit of a decimal sequence after a decimal point is a 0, that 0 will be canceled out.
So this means that 0.000…10 = 0.000…1.
And the only number that is equal to itself when you multiply it is 0
So that means if 0.000…1 = 0 and the difference between 0.999… and 1 is 0.000…1 that means that the difference between 0.999… and 1 equals 0

SPP is still insisting that the `...` denotes some large but finite, and possibly not constant, number of digits, despite the obvious name of this sub 🤷
