Like 0.0000000000000000... (with infinite zeros... then a 1)
So x / ∞ = 0 is really a false statement as you just proved....


But still, in infinteness, the meet somewhere - just like parallels meet in infinteness. These are two contraries and we don't know which of these two is right now...

I'll ask that on Monday in school. Maybe our math teacher knows :P

Dude, inf+1 will always remain the expression inf+1 . It will never gain anything, or lose anything,

No, infinity plus anything is still infinity…beyond the largest of numbers we know.

Actually, in all seriousness, there is. You can count down from zero (negative numbers) endlessly just as you can count up from zero (positive numbers) endlessly. Negative infinity is found in Calculus a lot.
