We see by light reflecting off of something and if we are traveling at the speed of light, anything the light would normally reflect off of would never reach our eyes unless we were traveling towards the light being emitted. If we were the ones emitting the light, we'd never see it, but we'd see everything from the point of light to the dark spots that interrupt the light source in transit that we were traveling to.

If you have .9 repeating into infinity, then it would be infinitely accurate. But, mathematics says that .9 repeating actually equals 1. Therefore, .9 repeating, despite an infinitely small amount of difference between the two, actually equals 1, despite it being infinitely accurate.
so, .9 repeating must be an infinitely accurate .9, but also must be one.
You can imagine that mathematicians would be right, but I have never heard a real solution that definitively proves that .9->=1.

No. If you walk half the distance, then half of the distance left, then half of the distance left, then half of the distance left, then half of the distance left, then...
It would get so small you would hardly move.
Also at the Joke : Woooosh

Ah, but you see:
5 feet + 2.5 feet + 1.25 feet + .625 feet + .3125 feet = 9 feet and 8 inches near the door
Like I said, you have to be really loving skinny to not touch that.
