N / 0 = . . . ?
It doesn't really mean anything.
Example:
If you have 8 slices of pizza and 4 people, each person gets 2 slices:
• 8 / 4 = 2
Makes perfect sense.
But if you have 8 slices of pizza and 0 people -- how many slices does each person get?
• 8 / 0 = 0?
• 8 / 0 = 8?
• 8 / 0 = infinity?
It's a nonsensical question.
This seems to echo the question of a tree falling in the woods. If there is nobody to eat the pizza, does one actually exist?
Just a thought,
Dan
