1 / 0 =?

View me on Instagram


While thinking about the origin of life, about our purpose for being here, about our placement in the universe and how we are spared from all the threats from space...i used to finish my every thinking time slot, by arriving at the conclusion that there is something in the universe , the ultimate power that is controlling everything in this world. some call it as GOD, some believe it to be THE NATURE, some call it as THE ILLUMINATI...but THE ONE exists thats for sure. I have been thinking this since long time but when i watched the master creation THE MATRIX by wachowski brothers, my senses were shattered and i don't know why, after that i started to think that we can reveal this power by solving the unsolved mysteries..because i think these are the portals which represent the faults in this CONTROL.

so coming to the topic, can you divide anything by zero ?
As established, many will answer it as infinite...but certainly thats not the correct answer, as long as we know actual difference between the terms INFINITY and UNDEFINED, we should take some time before we arrive to some conclusion.

If asked, what is infinity ? then the most probable and proper answer would be, that which never ends or something that whose extremes we can not measure. for example the series 1,2,3,4,5,...... has no end, that is the series is infinite. But every SO CALLED END VALUE of the series will be the pure number, that is even if we are calling it as infinite, still we have a measurable quantity, each time we proceed to next.

And what is UNDEFINED?
Now consider 1 divided by zero, just for easy justification...for some moment keep aside arithmetic means and analyse what is the division? . it is distribution of some DEFINITE quantity in a DEFINITE no. of DEFINITE equal parts. this means every aspect of the process should be defined and it should purely exist.
suppose you have to distribute Rs. 10 among 5 people, then you do 10/5 and get answer as Rs. 2 for every person. Now consider you have to distribute the same definite amount among zero people? in this process you don't have the DEFINED no. of people among whom the quantity is to be distributed. so the process is UNDEFINED and the answer is also UNDEFINED.

why the answer is not INFINITY?
simply because if you are saying this answer then you have to distribute INFINITE quantity among no one, and importantly OUT OF A FINITE DEFINED QUANTITY, which makes no sense, HOW ONE CAN GET INFINITE EQUAL PIECES FROM A FINITE QUANTITY ??

if this is taking more time to understand, lets approach by other aspect. in 10/2=5, you have to add the no. 2 , 5 times to get 10. that is 10=2+2+2+2+2+(REMAINDER if any ,when the division is not complete). so think about 10/0... you have to add "0", that no. of times which will give the result 10. Offcource the answer is not infinite, even if you are adding "0" infinite no. of times ,you will never reach to 10, but the result will only be ZERO. the pure zero, the pure TRUTH.
so thats why the answer is UNDEFINED.

So in one sentence i say that an UNDEFINED is always an UNDEFINED, while INFINITY at any of its instance is always measurable.

What i derived is "1/0= 0"...."anything divided by zero is zero" how ??
It simply means you are distributing a finite quantity among no one, so you have to take nothing out of that quantity, so you have to take zero out of it , hence the answer is zero and whole quantity remains as remainder.
so,
11 / 2 = 5 x 2 + 1
similarly,
A / 0 = 0 x 0 + A ( many will comment that you can write any result, even infinite in this format, as whatever multiplied by zero will become zero, so they may say that

"A / 0 = {.....-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,...} x 0 + A" (multiple answers)
but then they should recall the process of distribution as described above, keeping aside algebra, so finally answer will only be the ABSOLUTE ZERO.

hi, if i am not lying then it is true that i haven't undrestood manythings u have written. it's very gret that you have created your own blog because i think expressing our thougts is better than being silent. at this moment i come to know that u r really a kind of person as i think.
