Who cares? You don't need to use infinity in 1 divided by 3...not in laymans terms.

Your understanding of math is flawed. Just because an equivalent value that happens to be a rational number exists, that does not mean infinity is not part of the math problem. Any time you deal with math, infinity is part of the problem. I mean if you really want to you could write it off as layman's terms, but the purpose of saying things in layman's terms in the first place is literally to oversimplify a complex idea that one otherwise could not understand because he or she simply does not get it. That doesn't mean by any means that the simplification is no longer a simplification.

edit: Math is not described as the language of the universe because we think it sounds cool, it's because with math you can literally simulate reality, it just depends on the user's proper understanding of math. Saying that 1/3 does not deal with infinity is pretty much openly saying that expressing the same number in an infinite number of ways is not possible, which it clearly is.

1/6 + 1/6 = 1/3

2/3 - 1/3 = 1/3

0.7 repeating - 0.4 repeating = 1/3

Is addition and subtraction enough or do I really need to show you more and start getting into multiplication, division, roots, using numbers that aren't even real, or algebra or calculus or anything else for that matter? Or do you get the point?
