Talk:Infinity Ring

To quote SonicMaster's edit description: "Actually, infinity times zero is all real numbers. What's 0% of infinity? Everything!"

I'm not sure if that's true. Wouldn't none of infinity be nothing? :p ~ Blue Warrior ^{talk contrib} 14:30, 20 December 2007 (PST)

No real number is even CLOSE to infinity. Every number is infinitesimal compared to infinity, so every number is 0% of infinity. And 0 is as well. Plus, 0 times infinity is described as an indeterminate type. 1 over infinity is infinitesimal, which sometimes is shown as 0, provided it isn't divided by something else infinitesimal.

Also look at this: Sometimes, in certain calculus problems, as the product approaches 0 times infinity if one just directly plugs them in, sometimes in reality, it is actually a certain number. Finding the area under a curve is an example. Every time you do this, you are adding up the area of an infinite number of rectangles with an infinitesimal width. In other words, the rectangles' widths are 0, but there are infinity of them. Therefore, the area of each rectangle is 0. 0 times infinity. Of course, you actually apply the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus to find said area, and, you come up with a particular number.
