A simple question.

I don't think it's the best way to represent it since it can't exist. The best way to represent it, honestly, may be through " an unidentifiable number". Because the point is that you can't have a one on the end of an infinite number of 0s. That isn't just an undefinable number, that's also an impossible number since it doesn't make mathematical sense - so I think to use it as an undefinable number would be silly :p

That's the reason it's not definable. If you could have a 1 at the end of an infinite number of zeros: then you would have a definable number already ^_<

Another way to represent this number is 1/∞. They are just two different ways of writing the same number. 1/∞ = 0.0r1 = infinitesimal = 'undefinable'. None of them make any mathematical sense. None of them can make any mathematical sense... because infinity is not a number. It's like this:



Not remotely calculable.

Could also not zero be considered smaller than negative one although negative one is less than zero, it is farther from zero than zero is.

But then we get into the impossibilities of having less than nothing...

How could one have less than nothing? :S

Ermmm... -1 is smaller than 0.
