Hi, I'm Kaziuk.
And bellow is my article titled "One Can Divide By 0".
One Can Divide By 0
Let's take such an equation:
1 / 0 = x
After rearranging it, we get this:
1 = x * 0
1 = 0
So according to the mathematics practiced by all mathematicians – present and past – we get an absurd.
Now I'll explain what the solution to this problem is.
Let's say I spent 1 PLN on promoting a post on Facebook and there were 10 reactions, so I write it down in my notebook like this:
1 / 10 = 0.1
This is the exact mathematical representation of the phrase 'I spent 1 PLN and there were 10 reactions, so one reaction cost me 0.1 PLN'.
On another post I also spent 1 PLN but there was no reaction, so I got nothing from it. And how, in accordance with mathematics practiced by all mathematicians – present and past – am I supposed to write in my notebook so that this record is an exact mathematical reflection of the previous sentence? Well, it is impossible, because after all:
1 / 0 = 0
1 = 0
And yet the phrase 'I spent 1 PLN but there was no reaction, so I get nothing from it' isn't absurd at all. So if such phrase cannot be written down mathematically, it means that there is something wrong with mathematics praciced by all mathematicians – present and past – or rather something is missing in it.
I discovered that this is missing:
1 / 0 or 10 / 0 = LACK OF DIVISION BECAUSE THERE IS NOTHING TO DIVIDE BY = zerol
Zerol is:
So:
And since zerol is not a number, but LACK OF DIVISION BECAUSE THERE IS NOTHING TO DIVIDE BY, no numerical operations are performed on it.
And now the content of one of my emails from a chat I had with Professor of Mathematics Ludomir Newelski from University of Wrocław.
I understand that this whole lecture was intended to show that mathematics can do without zerol. So please show me how under such records:
Jack, 10 (shots) / 3 (hits) = 3.33 (that's 30% effectiveness)
John, 10 (shots) / 5 (hits) = 2 (that's 50% effectiveness)
Dick, 10 (shots) / 10 (hits) = 1 (that's 100% effectiveness)
you would write down the following situation:
Mike also shot 10 times but didn't hit even once.
I would write it down like this:
Mike, 10 (shots) / 0 (hits) = zerol (that's 0% effectiveness)
And we'll see whose record is clear and whose is cloudy and foggy.
After I received the answer, I wrote Professor this:
My record:
10 (shots) / 0 (hits) = zerol (that's 0% effectiveness)
is an exact reflection of a life situation in which Mike shot 10 times and didn't hit even once.
But you wrote this situation like this:
0/10 which is 0 which is 0%
In the context of other records it means this:
Mike didn't shoot even once but 10 of his shots were accurate, so Mike's accuracy is 0%.
Do you feel this absurdity?
Professor hasn't answered yet, and it seems to me that he's given up, so I'll sum it up:
Yes, instead of saying 'Mike shot 10 times and didn't hit even once' and writing it down mathematically, one can turn it around and say 'Mike didn't hit even once out of 10 shots' and write it down the way Professor did.
But now let's take such notation: 10 / 2 = 5 which means that 10 apples fall to 2 people so each gets 5 apples. And such notation: 10 / 0 = zerol means that 10 apples fall to 0 people so there is no one to allocate apples to. And now let's turn it around like Professor did: 0 / 10 = 0 which means that 10 apples fall to 0 people so what? What does this = 0 mean in this situation? – even my she-goat doesn't know that. But when we turn around then all of them. So now we turn around the first and we have this: 2 / 10 = 0.2 which means that 10 apples fall to two people so each gets 0.2 of what? What means this 0.2 in this situation? – even my she-goat doesn't know that.
And such is mathematics without zerol.
So based on such monkey mathematics, can we understand the essence and working of the universe?
