Where I post anything and everything I pull out of the mess known as my mind.

Hey! Day 3, bored. Got a bigass band concert tomorrow. We're playing with the choir. I'm not really looking forward to that tidbit. Can't do much about it though. I've had to learn how to play with braces over the past month in preparation for this. Short post today. Was mostly working on autopilot.

I've had a very interesting day. Kind of like the weather outside my house: it's raining, but the sun is shining. I've had some of the worst luck, like setting off my car alarm in the school parking lot WHILE I'm IN the car. It's been one hell of a day. But anyway, back to the purpose of this post.
I believe that I've come up with a rationale to divide a number into 0 parts. It goes a bit like this:
Using 1/0 as an example, most would say it is undefined, right? But most middle school teachers teach the process of dividing by a fraction as: When you divide by a fraction you are multiplying by its reciprocal. So in using that logic, 1/2 is equivalent to dividing 1 by 2/1 and multiplying by 1/2. And with 0, any number in the denominator INCLUDING 0 makes the resultant also 0. So in theory, 0/0 is 0.
Now, using 1/0 as the example, the expression is the same as putting 1 as the numerator and 0/0 as the denominator. Which is the same as saying 1 times 0. Which is zero. So my thesis is that any real number over 0 has to be equal to zero since in essence you are multiplying by zero.
One may try to disprove this by saying that the zero in the denominator could be equal to any number of fractions, 0/1 and 0/10 being examples, but the fact of the matter is that the order of operations and path of logic involving that would only lead to a circle in reasoning, because if you divided 1 by 0/1, thereby multiplying 1 by 1/0, you would still get 1/0, and so on.
I don't see any flaw in my logic. I'm sure there are holes but this is only tested in my mind, not on paper.

WELCOME! It seems you've stumbled upon my WILD BLOG!
WELCOME! To Ramblings of a Chaotic Mind, where I put all of my outlandish theories and ideas as they come to my mind! I absolutely LOVE fucking with peoples' minds since my thoughts move much different. Ideas come and go either mind-numbingly slow or explosively fast. Like, TNT 2.25 million pounds per square inch EXPLOSION fast! I could be posting about my day one moment and a funny story, joke, paper, or some other event the next! My tangential tendencies cause more than a few head-turns and head-aches! Some of my class-mates dismiss me as totally off my rocker, but my best friend is even worse than I am. I'm quite quirky, but don't be offset by my indifferent appearance. When I get in a room with the friends I know and trust, I get excited and THEN the fun begins. Also, I seem to be attracted to darker writing, and my fine and wonderful muse Edgar Allan Poe influences my poetry. My poems will be posted here occasionally, depending on my mood. Just let me know I suppose.
I LOVE pranking and messing around with people, whether it be a school-wide prank or just some good old-fashioned single-person escapade. If you have any ideas for particularly funny pranks, be sure to let me know! I will take any and all, unless I deem it too cruel to use against sensitive targets.
