Most of us here are quite familiar with expression such as 1/0. But you didn't prove, o even explain, your assertion that it means what you claim it means is. In a forum like this it is desirable to have people back up their assertions. So while I respond to this post perhaps you can prove what you said about its consequence.

 

1/0: It mathematics we say that its an undefined quantity. So claiming that it is not infinity is unfounded.

 

Consider the following expressions:

 

1) f(x) = 1 + x

 

2) g(x) = x

 

3) h(x) = f(x)/g(x)

 

Are you familiar with what a limit is? If so then take the limit x--> 0 h(x). This does not yeild a meaningful quantity since the limit does approach infinity. It's meaningless to say it is either infinite or not infinite or anything else. That's the only kind meaning that you can give 1/0.
