If I divide any number by zero, I will get a kind of procedural infinity. But if I reverse the process, and multiply infinity by zero, there are a couple ways to look at it:
-Zero times anything is zero. Period. Therefore, math is broken, because you're supposed to be able to reverse by inverse, so to speak.
-Somehow, multiplying infinity, and only infinity, times zero magically allows me to arrive at ANY value X. A little juggling, and you will discover that 1=2=3=n.
You could look at it philosophically, and say that the eternal dance between zero and infinity is the motive for all of creation, and that paradox is itself the fundamental building block of existence. Or you could just walk away.
