Yes, mathematically it's the same, but in physics there's a guy named Heisenberg who denies that 0.99999... really gets to 1. There is always this difference, for a mathematician infinite is not a problem, but for a physicist it is, plus a very big one.

True, it sounds like that might be a problem if we consider that physics has to be between math and computer science.

(Have a nice day)
