.999... =/= 1
It only approximately equals to it. It would be viewed the same way as a number approaches a limit, but never actually touching it. Calculus stuffs.

What number is between 1 and 0.999999...(?)

How is that relevant?  

 

Because if there is no number higher than 0.9999r and less than 1, then the two numbers are of the same value.

I do not think you understand the concept.  The 9's (as we represent it as) will continue forever.  There's no end to it.  Infinity is not a number.  You may not be able to wrap your mind around that, but it's okay.  Not many people can.  

There is no "number higher than 0.9999r"  
When you go by that scale, you never reach 1 because you set your limit to 1.  There are an endless amount of points between 0 and 1.
