A dumb math theory

[tina_goes_doo]

Black holes are where God divided by zero...

[Auranceus]

what about if you divided a number by an infinitely small positive decimal (as in really really close to zero)?

wouldn't it be infinitely close to infinity?
couldnt the infinitely small positve decimal also be just about zero? and then with that thing with the threes and the algebra wouldn't it be zero?

then again it would also depend upon the whole numerator... so maybe 1/<insert infinitely small positive decimal> = infinity
while 2/<insert infinitely small posotive decimal> = 2 infinity... which becomes infinity, leaving 1/<insert infinitely small positive decimal> to not equal infinity but an incredibly huge number... (if i understand the concept of infinity, that is)

therefore infinity/<insert infinitely small positive number>= infinity, and if the infinitely small positive number = 0 then inifnity/0 = infinity... waahhhh i confused myself!

i think it makes sense... but... meh... oh well

Anything divided by 0 is undefined. It just can't happen. And an infintesimal number is close enough to 0 that you get an undefined # (infinite). You can only have infinite, no 2x infin or 5x infin. It is all still infin.

There is no way to reach infinity but it does exist. Like faster than light travel. It's possible, but not anytime ever.

That's pretty much the definition of the limit of a number divided by a variable as it approaches zero.

I MADE A PRITTY PICTAR THAT RESTATES EVERYTHING THAT PPLZ HAS SED B4 omgomg (assuming n is a real number):

[GuidoHunter]

"Infinity" is just a term to verbally represent something that is REALLY BIG, so it doesn't actually exist in any definite form.

Xaimus is completely right...

Why do we have a word to describe somthing that we cannot describe?
I stopped asking why words mean what they do, as its way to f'd up.
So 7/0=inf....it has to be undefined!
If 0=nothing, reality and theory, how can you put nothing(reality) or an undefined number(theory) into somthing and expect an outcome?
I dislike the whole zero concept in math.
Everything i said up there is probably majorly flawed but oh well.
