So: Obviously, dividing by zero just...doesn't work. Math-wise, you can't do it. This is because (or so goes my reasoning), when you try to divide by zero, you are not working with mathematics anymore - you have crossed over into the realm of philosophy.
Who remembers learning division? The teacher would give you a simple problem, like 6/3, and have you imagine it thusly: There are six cookies on the table, and there are three people that want to eat them. If each person gets the same number of cookies, how many will each person get?
Let's say that some of those people then decide that they don't want cookies any more. They walk away. This causes the denominater to decrease, until there is one person left. This person also decides that they don't want cookies; they leave the room, as well as the cookies.
There is now nobody in the room, and we have 6/0. Because there is nobody in the room, there is nobody to confirm that the cookies are actually there. So it becomes a "If a tree falls in a forest..." question.
See? Philosophy! Or so goes my most likely illogical reasoning, anyway.
