You can't do arithmetic with infinity or divide by zero because you get problems with numbers equalling different numbers, with 1=2 as a common example.
But what if you say that 1/infinity and 2/infinity are two distinct zeroes that both sit on the same point? What if you do this to have a continuous line of different zeroes, in one to one correspondence with the reals but all intersecting the reals at only one point. The image shows the origin with two distinct equally located points, does infinite arithmetic work if you do this? Are there functions to turn one zero into another? how

Sounds like non-standard analysis. Your "continuous line of different zeros" would be infinitesimals. Note that you would have that continuous line of infinitesimals not just around 0, but around any point -- since x+1/infinity and x+2/infinity should be distinct as well for every x

if you want to do shit like divide by zero just use projective geometery

That's a bold claim from someone who doesn't know shit about wheels, or algebra for that matter. Wheels ARE the future, and you have no future in mathematics.

Quit making these gay thread - /sci/ is for real topics, not mathfagery
