That's obvious from convergence, like
1/0.1 = 10
1/0.01=100
1/0.001 = 1000
so
1/0 = infinity.

Han Solo: Kid, I've flown from one side of this galaxy to the other, and I've seen a lot of strange stuff, but I've never seen *anything* to make me believe that there's one all-powerful Force controlling everything. 'Cause no mystical energy field controls *my* destiny. It's all a lot of simple tricks and nonsense.
