Don't drink my Sprite, before I concocted it ! Seriously.

I was getting to that.

What he said.

Nobody explained this one to me, when I was your age.

So you are 70 something?

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

I feel like 143, most of the time. Didn't even change over decades, coming and going.

So you fart dust.

Nope. But I can adjust my clock (once) a week, when I go for a big thing.

Getting some Terrence Howard vibes off this post. While math can take you to some pretty far out concepts like the square root of negative one which has been found to have practical applications... Division by zero being undefined is a pretty easy concept to grasp.

Division means literally "I have something this larger size and want to break it up into equal sized smaller pieces of this smaller size."

If that smaller size is absolutely nothing than you can't do it. The answer is not even infinity because even 1/∞ is still something that's more than nothing.

I even could disagree. But i won't.

I'm still hypnotized by the continuous partition of unity.

E.g.

Mathematics is one of the very few things able to do this with a guy like me.

What if I divide by negative zero, i.e. a one sided limit?

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

per definition negative zero is the same as positive zero.

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

No

Negatively signed zero echoes the mathematical analysis concept of approaching 0 from below as a one-sided limit, which may be denoted by x → 0−, x → 0−, or x → ↑0. The notation "−0" may be used informally to denote a negative number that has been rounded to zero.

So we got another case-distinction here. Guess what ?

Don't do it half-assed like that. I feel insulted.

On the other hand, I'm quite proud that I made all you people actually think.

I should do more of this, shouldn't I ?

Not bad
