Jan 24, 2014 at 6:39 comment added anna v @Pacerier In measurements there are always experimental errors therefore the accuracy of the statement "the resistance is zero' is limited by this. If you are really that interested this ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/abstractKeywords.jsp?arnumber=4998775 will have the errors but it is behind a paywall so you have to go to a library.
Jan 24, 2014 at 6:29 comment added Pacerier @anna, I mean did we actually observed 0.0000000... up to like 200 decimal places? Because if we did, we can say it's practically zero. Or did we actually observed data for only ~10 decimal places?
Jan 23, 2014 at 5:10 comment added anna v @Pacerier I mean we can be always approaching the limit but not reaching it within our lifetimes or experimental errors. If we cannot measure 0 it is never 0 for physics.
Jan 22, 2014 at 21:40 comment added Pacerier @anna, When you say "epsilon delta relationship", do you mean "yes, exactly 0.000000000 resistance is possible" or do you mean "no, we can never get exactly 0.000000000 resistance"?
