1 divided by 3 is not 0.3333...
It's 0.3 + 0.3 + 0.4
You can't divide an apple into 3 equal thirds, one of the slices will always have to by slightly larger.
Math is supposed to quantify reality, resolving a division with perpetuity is a copout that doesn't accurately reflect reality under literally any circumstance, it's nonsense and shouldn't see continued use in mathematics when it's possible to use the actually true answer instead.

>>17018810
0.3+0.3+0.4=1, and last I checked, [math]\frac{1}{3} \neq 1 [/math].

However, the average of 0.3 and 0.4 is 0.35, so perhaps we might have

[math]\frac{1}{3} = 0.35 [/math].

I think this is a compromise everyone can agree on.

we use base 10.
10 cannot be divided in 3 equal parts. but the parts can be approximated with 3 + 3 + 4 = 10 like OP said. and so can the result 3 + 3 + 3 = 10
an approximation can be chosen based on a desired precision.
1/3 = 0.3 is valid if you accept that precision
1/3 = 0.4 is less precise but also valid if you accept it
1/3 = 0.33 is also valid if you accept that precision
1/3 = 0.334 is also valid if you accept that precision
0.333... says you want infinite precision.
if you have infinity then it allows you to take a limit, here of precision p, and the result of the limit is not an approximation it is exact. which is why 0.33... * 3 = 1, where 0.33... is a limit expression.

Its more like the diffrence between 180 and 190 cm. If you talk to the average women long enough you actually feel it, average joe is objectevly higher iq

>>
>>17019407
The funny part the difference between heights is really only 3-5%
>>
>>17019374
5 IQ points is 1/3 a standard deviation.
10 cm difference in height is 2 standard deviation difference, obviously will be noticeable
1.5 cm difference is 1/3 a standard deviation.

1.5 cm is to 5 IQ points as 10 cm difference is to 30 IQ points. Obviously you can see the difference of 30 IQ by observation just like you can see 10 cm height difference by eye. In contrast, 5 IQ points is not within ones ability to resolve through strict interaction, a special test is designed to detect such difference. Likewise you can't detect a 1 cm difference in height by eye. You need a special test, that is, a measurement to determine it.

Well, it lifts up in the atmosphere because helium is lighter than the other gasses on Earth
But thats not the same as literally weighing less, in fact the filled pressure vessel is now experiencing a greater downward force due to gravity, its just completely counteracted by buoyancy.

Buoyancy depends on the fluid the object is inside of. If there were a pure hydrogen atmosphere, adding helium to a container would make it sink.

Science is founded on reason, proving your claim with evidence, & reproducibility.
At some point society stopped allowing for proofs & just relies on credibility of one making the claim now.
Science is basically dead. The culture changed & doesnt allow for it.
