1/0
Feb 14, 2025
- Mathematics: It is undefined.
If 1/0 = 0, then multiplying both sides by 0 should give us 1 = 0. That is false.
The mathematician Kurt Gödel proved that some questions cannot be answered within math itself. Infinity may be one of them.
- Philosophy: It is a paradox.
Zeno’s Paradoxes : If you keep cutting a distance in half, do you ever reach the end?
- Religion: It relates to the divine.
If Vedanta says “pure awareness/brahman/infinite exists,” Madhyamaka asks: “Where? How? On what basis?”
If Buddhism says “there is no self,” Vedanta asks: “Then who is aware of that?”
Some things aren’t meant to be solved… just infinitely wondered about!
