Is the “infinity” between numbers actually infinite?

Question

Can numbers get so small (or so large) that there is kind of a “planck length” effect where you just can’t get any smaller? Or is it really possible to have 1.000000…(infinite)1

EDIT: I know planck length is not a mathmatical function, I just used it as an anology for “smallest thing technically mesurable,” hence the quotation marks and “kind of.”

Answer 1

Real quick, the planck length is not what you seem to think it is.

Anyways, there is no reason mathematically that we can’t infinitely divide numbers. *However*, there is no difference between 1.000000000000… and 1. It’s a bizarre quirk of infinitesimals.
