inb4 argument about equivalence of 4.999~ and 5 |

It's the "icon" pictures that REALLY make this. |

Is exactly 49.999 repeating even experimentally possible? In theory it would be but it seems to me that it would be a 1 in infinity chance of happening. |

@711 If you have 50 apples, then you have 49.999~ apples exactly. Mathematically, those two are identical. That's what @679 was referring to. People who can't grasp this tend to argue about it, even though it's been proven in every field of mathematics. |

@AppleDash
It's kinda like the last digit of Pi actually being 4 (or 8 if you wanna go the Tau route) |

But since this isn't a discrete measurement, you still wouldn't be able to record how much water there is to infinite figures, so either way that can't happen. |

@AppleDash: You might as well wonder as well if exactly 50 is even experimentally possible. Or any other real value between 0 and 100, for that matter.
Fun fact about continuous statistics: When you randomly pick a real number between 0 and 100, the probability for every single value x in [0,100] is exactly 0. And still, one of these values will be the result, even though it had probability zero. |
| Jackarunda #1320747 2 months ago |
the probability of picking any single value when you pick a float in a range is 0 because there are infinite floats available in that range.
1 / ∞ = 0 |

Keep in mind that in reality, we could theoretically determine the exact percentage of water if we were to consider the planck length. Because distances shorter than this aren't possible, we could count the exact number of planck lengths that the water fills, compared to the total number of planck lengths in the glass.
This is neglecting quantum phenomena that would cause the answer to continually change. |

Eh... statistics mess me up. I'll stick with physics, thank you. |

@786 Eh I recall that the theoretical significance of the plank length is due to quantum phenomena so they seem rather improper to ignore. |

| Anonymous #1323174 2 months ago |
49.99999... = 50 (seriously)
instead she could say something like, the glass is 100% full, half in the liquid state and half in the gas state |

Jokes on you, Twilight would say it's completely full. |

Is Twilight taking into account the moisture content of the air? Are there contaminants in the water? |
