What utter piffle. Your statement about 1 + 1 is ridiculous. The number .99999... endlessly repeating is equal to 1. Why? well write this as
x = .9 + .09 + .009 + .0009 + ... and then x = .9 + .1( .9 + .09 + .009 + .0009 + ...) = .9 + .1x so then .9x = .9 ====> x = 1 Don't you have anything of greater intellectual depth to actually think about?
