this reminds me of something else kinda interesting, in the form of one of those silly word problems in text books.
A goat herder has this field, that is in infininte amount of acres big. He also has an infinite amount of goats. If he uses his magical goatherding powers to evenly distrubute the goats among the field, how many goats are there per acre.
1 goat per acre?
yeah the same problem, is any part of infinity still infinity? hmmm.. 1/10 of infinity = infinity. Doesn't make much sense. the only other number that somethine like that works for is zero, such as 1/10 of zero is still zero. I tend to like to think that infinity divided by zero is one, but thats just me.
I'm so sorry about this post, I'm tired! I can't help it! I just love these kinds of problems, even if I'm so barely awake I can hardly read it.
just my $.02
