if we keep arguing like this we might cure cancer!@!
the reason it = 1 is because as it gets infinetly close to one there is no fomula that can differentiate
The reason has been explained already, and that is not it.smartdude992 wrote:

Some people here underestimate theory. Theory can be in fact reality. The problem is, for reality to be the exact reflection of theory, every condition has to be taken into account, and that is simply not possible for today's science.
Also, infinity is often part of physical concepts. When it is used correctly, it leads to an exact answer, not an approximation. The best example of this is when you want to calculate the volume of an irregular object. You use integrals, which use the concept of an infinite amount of infinitesimally small parts. At the end, you get the exact answer.
This reminds of something: some people said that anything times 0 = 0. Wrong, 0 times infinity is an indeterminate form. 0 times infinity often leads to a finite number that is not 0. The best example is again integrals, where the phenomena 0 times infinity occurs.

Yes, I did say anything times 0 is 0. I meant it in a anything finite times 0 is 0. I also said that math involving infinity is more complicated than some people here make it seem.-=raska=- wrote:
