Quote by: Lullaby If so, how would that be done? |
By referencing the totality of infinity.
Infinity is a concept.
After reading the other thread on this topic from a few months ago I agree that when dealing with a concept you need to speak out what you are doing.
Division...
How many times does infinity go into infinity? Once.
∞ / ∞ = 1
How large is a segment if you divide something into an infinite number of segments? Not zero.
1 / ∞ != 0
(!= means "not equal to"... learned that in the other thread and =/= looks weird)
How many times does nothing go into nothing? Forever.
0 / 0 = ∞
