That is all :beer:

Wait, why stop there?

8/9 = 9/9 - 1/9, amirite?

That's like, 1.000... - 0.111...
That's like, 0.999...
So, 8/9 = 0.999..., but 0.999... = 1, so 8/9 = 1, amirite?

You lose!
1.000 - 0.111... = 0.888....

Treadmill moves.
Wheels spin really really fast.
Treadmill fails to move plane, as the wheel bearings are assumed massless. So what you have is a treadmill moving really fast, and a plane that's just sitting still relative to the ground below the treadmill.
So, plane on moving treadmill (engines off) = plane sitting on the ground.

Plane's engines come on. They push the plane forward. Air moves over the wings. The plane takes off.

W00t, just eliminated another of those pesky numbers from the real number system.

Better yet, 0.999...is a rational number (being a repeating decimal and all). Since we are all smarter than a 5th grader, we know the other wonderful property of all rational numbers, that being there exist integers A & B such that A/B = 0.999...

A homework assignment for all the jeanyuses out there is to come up with integers A & B such that A/B = 0.999...

Once we establish that 0.999... is even a number, then we can discuss it's equality with other numbers.

oh god

What the hell does that have to do with the airspeed of a plane on a treadmill? Nothing.

Thanks for playing!

Thanks for trolling!

You are either:
a. a moron
b. a moron

If a plane needs lift generated by the wings moving through the air (or air passing over the wings, like a huge windtunnel could theoretically work for example), how is the plane going to take off from a treadmill if the plane remains stationary? So you are correct; a treadmill has absolutely nothing to do with the airspeed of a plane and therefore a plane cannot take off from a treadmill.

I used to think that too, but then I rethought it.

It pays to have a different view.

Lets say I was on a treadmill, and no matter how fast I ran, the treadmill always matched my speed, and I would not be able to go forward.

No lets imagine, I went on top of my skate board and tied it the the front of the treadmill, and the treadmill went at full speed. No Matter how fast the treadmill goes, I can still walk forward.

You see the distinction?

So the plane will take off?

Yes the plane will take off. As you can see, if you pretend that I am the man body of the plane and the skateboard are the wheels, I am perfectly able to go forward, which is critical for the the plane to take off.

Dinosaurs were laying eggs a hell of a long time before there were ever chickens.
