Why is dividing a number by zero infinity?
Zero is another expression for nothing. Physically, it can be as saying “I don’t have it “. This mainly identifies local expression for having nothing in hand. It’s a relative view of a physical situation. When one goes beyond our planet into space, it can mean the vast cosmos occupying nothingness, another word for absolute vacuum.
In a real sense, dividing a physical quantity by zero doesn’t make sense, the reason why there is no bound to how many each “nothing“ gets. Mathematically, it is called infinity. In actuality, when we approach the zero point on a number line, it gets infinitesimally smaller and smaller. Dividing any number by any such number is extremely high.
1/0.000000000000000000001 = error
The calculator can’t be wired to compute the above division. What this means is the share such a small number gets is so astronomically high, it is physically impossible. Mathematics simply gives it the name infinity.
Mathematics works in real as well as in an abstract (imaginary) world. You can’t apply an abstract idea unless the boundary of the real world is surpassed. We are limited to a 3D world, but science including math are always open ended; we just don’t have the capacity to see it in order to make sense of it. That’s why playing algebraically around zero is equivalent to wasting your infinitesimally short time on this infinitesimally small planet of ours.
My previous article can be applied for this situation:
So I was wondering about vacuum. I googled “absolute vacuum” and got ads listed for all kinds of vacuum cleaners. Aha! That’s where the moment the cleaner creates a partial vacuum, every dirt rushes into it. Nature every where, including our own planet mimics the Universe. Wow! So does the the answer for many intriguing questions lie in the fact that creating an absolute vacuum is virtually impossible because the moment one or, naturally speaking, some mishap tries to create a vacuum, everything else rushes into it.
Does this ring the bell?
Ding! Dang! Dong!
I think I got it but I won’t say Eureka! I haven’t done the necessary research to confidently say someone hasn’t already had a good grasp of the idea.
So I just brush and pass it to you by asking the question of the day: Does the black hole concept ring the bell?
Time to think about it.
