x/o = ∞
Thus x= 0 * ∞
This implies that there is an Almighty element (∞) which is able to operate on 0 (the least positive, but greatest negative number) to produce anything, i.e. x.
I cannot understand how people translate mathmatical objects, which not do exist outside our minds, into the real world. Your ∞ is actually called undefined, not infinity as I think you are implying, and it doesn't actually exist in the mathematical sense anyway (a point on an asymptote (n,undefined) does not exist). A better example would have been summing to infinity. But it doesn't matter. Also, I don't think "has been" was the correct tense as I suspect you made this up on the spot. Not that you were the first to think of it, but you did not source it from anywhere or anyone.
