Division by Zero


Math is
The art of rigorous prove
The practice of predictability
Zero is
The origin of undefined outcomes
The start of abstraction
Ancient people
Have one finger to represent 1
Have nine fingers to represent 9
Yet
No finger to represent 0
We cannot show 0 by any object in real world
Furthermore
Any number times 0
The result is an ambiguous 0
Therefore
Division by 0
Any result is possible
Zero is
The defiance of math’s predictability
Result?
Math cannot let zero do whatever it wants
Hence the rule
No division by zero
