Hi,

Can anyone out there tell me what happens when you have:

zero and infinity

next to each other un an equation please. Do they cancel each other out?

Zero is a number. Infinity is not a number.
With that in mind, can you answer your own question?

Do you mean that you have one quantity that is getting small (going to zero, but not zero) and one quantity getting large (tending "to" infinity, which isn't a destination as much as a direction), and that both of those quantities are being multiplied together?

I assume you're asking this because you're trying to find a limit that has this particular type of indeterminant form. That being the case, it's impossible to give you a specific answer unless you actually post the specific question you're attempting to do.

Plato that was quite an answer. I had a maths teacher who used to talk to me like that ha ha.

I realsise that the questions I ask are not "correct" or the usual type of thing that you would normally answer but I tend to think in pictures rather than equations. I'm trying to fit a model of the universe I have thought of into general mathematics. This question is related to black holes / the big bang. The moment where everything breaks down.

I'll go with a really obvious and stupid question(I have a lot of these):

If mathmatics is universal, is it possible that gravity could affect the outcomes of equations? That it could affect mathmatics itself?

This is not the place to discuss your mathematical philosophies and theories. Thread closed (and moved to the Chatroom).
