Joined 17 Aug '03 Moves 786 Infinity is not a number, it is a concept, but apparently anything multiplied by 0 is 0, so probably 0.

what is infinity times zero? Infinity times 0 isn't defined.
Anything times 0 is 0, yes, but not for infinity. You can treat infinity as a number with addition to a certain height, but not with multiplication.
Look at this (Name infnity I for now);
1/I = 0, so 1 = 0*I
2/I = 0, so 2 = 0*I
.
.
.
and so on.

Thank God, there are more math experts on this site besides The Noble Poultry ...

Let's say we have one chocolate bar to divide amongst infinitely many people. What everyone gets must be smaller then anything you can hold. Smaller then 1/100, even smaller then 1/100000000, and so on....the only number we can get with that property is 0. In other words, 1/I=0

0*I = lim(x -> 0) x * tan(x + pi()/2))
= -1
