Dividing by zero makes all numbers zero...?

[Fredulus]

I was showing how you did that one right and the first one wrong. You didn't multiply by 2 again in that one, so why did you multiply by 0 a second time in the first one?

I used the identity that when multiplying anything by 0, it will equal 0. So when you multiply the fraction by 0 to cancel out the denominator, i'm saying that since you're multiplying by 0 it automatically has to equal 0, regardless of all this "cancel out the denominator" stuff you originally tried to do.

also what general skar said. lol.

This is like trying to speak using only numbers.
Let's use words instead;

YOU CAN'T DIVIDE ANYTHING BY ZERO, IT DOESN'T WORK.

Once we define infinity we can, AND THEN WE WILL RULE THE WORLD!

I can define infinity!

x = forever.

WHERE'S MY NOBEL.

Hey guys, remember that zero root thread I made that used a function that proved x/0 = infinity?

Well I've been working on a new theory to prove a circle is a polygon. Umad?

Not really.
It's easy to think of a circle as an infinitely sided polygon.

That is true, but there a lot of people out there who are not willing to believe the obvious and it needs to be made true in their eyes.

Also by proving this I will also prove something else. You'll see.

My dad tried to explain to me that x/0=infinity because 0 goes into anything infinite times, but then he said that it's not actually real math.

Well it isn't, it's abstract mathematics.

Important point there. lol. it's really easy to prove lots of stupid theories using equations and "math". There's so many ways to mess with equations, all you need to do is find a gray area between correct/incorrect math and exploit it in a way that people think it's legit.

It's also really weird and I hate it.

Why so concrete?
