Divide by zero

dare to do the impossible (and very absurd at the same time)

NO MAN, DON'T DO IT!!!

Division by zero IS possible. Just not in the way we calculate on everyday-basis.

care to explain every detail of that statement?

Its simple. You CAN divide by zero, but everyone in the world will be swept into a collosal vortex of doom.

Sorry, I'm not a native speaker and although I've taken university math courses, I don't know english math lingo.

All I can say is that division by zero is not impossible but undefined because that would always lead to contradictions, which is a no go in math.

But there are some structures where division by zero is totally possible.

Got a little picture to back that up, though... it's from a first semester math course I took. Can't translate it due to before stated reasons, though.

OMG 1/0 = infinity! That is BADASS!!!

Yeah, math can be pretty badass at times.

since its impossble to be infinity when you just start but if you start before zero it become infinity XD

To divide something by zero means that you are going to divide something into zero parts, but if you divide something in zero parts there isnt anything.
you can,t divide something so it becomes nothing.

Yet infinity * 0 doesn't equal 1.
My math teacher told me.
"NEVER FUCK WITH INFINITY"

Speaking of Math.... How many times has a thread like this been made?

1/0 times too many.

Technically, you wouldn't be able to divide by one either, because you can't split something into one part.

As expected Ramsus' answer is perfect.
