We really need a modulus sign designed for fractions. For those not overly-familiar of this convenient function, |x| takes the positive version of x. And if you want the negative version −|x|. However there's no symbol for a function to take x/y and convert it to a top-heavy fraction or a bottom-heavy fraction.
I needed it for a mathematical equation for a new religion I've been trying to derive from bio-logical first principles for the past three years. What do I do? Fortunately I've for now opted for simply adding the fraction to it's inverse, but what if it was the case that someone really needed
Perhaps x|/|y putting a modulus on the division line itself and x-|/|y for a bottom heavy. Maybe. Also, since we use the base 10 system, recurring 0.999... = 1/10^infinity, 9.999... is 1-(1/10^infinity).

Re: 1/0
A video going through our history of accepting weird numbers up to i, although when talking about the first irrational numbers skipping the Egyptian approximation of pi that preceded √2 makes it look a bit brainwashed. The name of the show is hilarious which itself is ironic, which makes it hilarious, which makes it ironic, which makes it hilarious, which makes it ironic, which makes it hilarious, which makes it ironic, which makes it hilarious, and so on to a ko of infinite laughter! I'm going to start pushing the notation I prefer to mathematicians, wish me luck!

Re: 1/0
I don't understand. But you may like to research p-adic numbers and their metric (modulus) (if you don't already know about it)

I should note though that I have seen something similar that is essentially a single photon theory of the universe, so . . .Marathon wrote:Have you heard of the Single Electron Universe?Elom0 wrote:Another way to think of it, is that negative apples are apples created backwards in time, well at least that's how I've been thinking of it. But I think that means negative apples have negative mass, doesn't it?

Re: 1/0
While watching Choi Jeong's game viewtopic.php?p=276583#p276583 I suddenly came upon the solution.
It's not that you can't divide or multiply by zero, but rather that you cannot add or subtract from true zero. You've been taught a lie your entire life!

Re: 1/0
To understand the misunderstanding regarding dividing by Zero, we first have to understand the misunderstanding regarding the imaginary numbers, which come about because mathematicians do not understand that the multiplication and division operations also have parity. -1-*-1=-1, negative one negatively multiplied by negative one equals negative one.
Let's say you want to find out the probability of one player winning a game against another. One person has zero rating points, the other has 1 rating point. The amount of times bigger the rating points are are the number of games needed for the other player to win 1 game. So, how many games would be needed before the other player wins 1 game? No amount of games, so say that 1 occurs after ∞ is a way of avoiding the question, since it's unfalsifiable. However, that infinity must be multiplied by 2 if the instead of 1 rating point they had 2. This is because it has been assumed that the other player has points, so all the laws of relativity in math must be observed.
The problem is that if it was -1, we'd be assuming -1 and with negative multiplication after -∞. But zero is neither positive or negative. Parity represents the direction in which a number got to it's size, but without moving in any direction there's no movement of which the parity can be determined. Which means the concept of adding and minusing zero is also unsound as muliplying and dividing by zero. You can have 0+1 and 0-1 but you can't have 1+0 or 1-0, 0 cannot have a parity sign in front of it.
