The problem with Zero

[Ouroboros]

ouch... frankly, I gave up on mathematics when they told me that the square root of -1 was "i". Huh? "i"!?!?! What the **** is "i"? Who the **** do you think you are? What the ****!? Mother******!! "i"???! Honestly!...

Yep, that's about when I gave up on it.

Actually, in thought, I like to relate "0" to a singularity in cosmological physics...beyond calculation...

Owwww..... Im gonna be out of commision for a while because of that post

so from Apocalypse post

What about 0/0? Suppose we say 0/0 = c where c is some real number. Will it check? 0(c) =0. Certainly it checks. What value should we give c? Why not 1? 0/0=1 since 0(1) = 0. But 52 would work equally well. 0/0 = 52 since 0(52) = 0. Since any number will check, 0/0 lacks a "unique" answer. Again mathematicians ruled out 0/0 as a permissible operation because of this lack of uniqueness.

we can say that 0/0 is any numbers in the world (since it satisy the that rule)........... so I think the answer of Kezil post is undefined (0/0) because if the answer is all numbers it's better to say undefined.. isn't it make life easier ???

wow the IQ level in AO is def going up when we have a physic's teaching mathamatician phD writing in to answer a post

I was feeling like I was getting over the flu....then I saw this post...dang youse! dang youse to heck!

Seriously, great post....confusing, but great!

I don't understand why everyone finds this confusing (or why it gives everyone a headache), it seems perfectly clear to me

Then again, I think about things like the equations needed to plot a DNA molecule and what the mathematical equation of the universe is. Maybe I'm just weird. Oh well.
