Topic: If we found out how to divide by zero... (Read 492 times)

Bonkava!

what other advancements would we have made by then?
I mean, think about it, 0 is a number, and division is an operation, and they are the only operation/number pair that doesn't go together. Now, I'm sure that if all the world's greatest mathematicians and scientists got together they could devise a pattern and use that to decide what x/0 equaled. However, as of now, not even machines can do it. For as much information as we'd need to be able to divide by zero, it'd take years and years of technological advancements. Name some.
One of the ones that isn't a technological advancement but instead is an evolutionary advancement is that sometime before zero can divide, pig's wings will get so long and flat that wind resistance will get the better of them and they'll lift right off the ground. Pigs, then with the ability to push air downward around their ears, shall fly high into the sky, thus blocking sunlight from all holes into the underworld. With no sunlight, as we know, Hell will freeze over. What are other evolutionary/world advancements?

This is why I hate math. I hear somebody say something like this and then I can't think about anything except how none of it actually exists.

Machines can't divide by 0...yet.
When Mega Man is made, maybe he will be able to.

Don't worry about it, the Large Hadron Collider will have killed us all by then anyway.

I kept the last one too long, but didn't have a good replacement.

I've always held the belief that 0 divided by 0 is 1, but I have no other serious beliefs on the matter of zero division.

Well a lot of calculators and textbooks still call 0/0 undefined, but I think that's silly.

Math people: just invent something new like imaginary numbers so we can finally put 0/0 to rest.
Might I suggest... an upside down x?

Upside down x's look like x's
How about a triangle with a line protruding out of one end and a bigger line protruding out the other.
---(insert delta here)=== something like that.

0 x 6 = 0
6 = 0/0
0/0 = 6

0*x=0
0/0=x
therefore 0/0 is now a variable, in the sense that now when we see a theta, a 0 with a /, we'll understand it's short for 0/0 or something.
