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 |
