@holdenweb@freeradical.zone infinity when represented physically: is a process that never ends. Defining a measuring function to run forever and increase accuracy overtime converges to the described infinity.
Close to zero: practically zero… not zero! we don’t know what we don’t know yet.
Besides that: there is the concept of useful accuracy - Where further precision offers no more predictive power…

@altruios@mastodon.social Practically zero? There is only zero and non-zero! And yes, of course good enough is good enough for practical purposes … but then that’s no longer theoretical is it?
