I'm seriously gonna try to help you through this: Johnny has 3 sets of 5 pennies... How many pennies does Johnny have? Suzie has 2 sets of 5 pennies... How many pennies does Suzie have? Paul has 1 set of 5 pennies... How many pennies does Paul have? Pathfinder has 0 sets of 5 pennies... How many pennies does Pathfinder have? Johnny has 3 sets of 5 pennies... How many pennies does Johnny have? 15 Suzie has 2 sets of 5 pennies... How many pennies does Suzie have? 10 Paul has 1 set of 5 pennies... How many pennies does Paul have? 5 Pathfinder has 0 sets of 5 pennies... How many pennies does Pathfinder have? 5
They don't disappear. This is one of the peculiarities of math.
Dude, seriously, what in the ever fuck? If you have zero or no sets of 5 pennies, then you have no pennies at all. Multiplication is about how many times a number is counted. If you have no existing number of times of whatever number, then what you have is zero. |

You still have 5 pennies on the table. In the real world they don't disappear. In the math world they do. I'm sick of trying to explain the difference between the math world and the real world to you dumbasses.

Interesting. Kind of metaphysical. Not uncool. By that premise though, if they don't disappear in the real world does that mean they don't appear either? Like, 5 x 5 = 25, but if if you multiply five quarters by five, do you still only have quarters? |

Multiplication is a mathematical principle.
You cannot multiply real-world objects.

Jesus Christ. No, because multiplying whatever number by X means having X instances of that number. Otherwise you're not multiplying anything. Zero or NO instances of 5 pennies = 0, just like one instance of 5 pennies = 5 and 2 is 10. Math is just math. There's no "in the real world" difference here where math stops being math. |

Yes you can. Math is a tool use to model the real world. |

Maybe it would help to reword the equation. If you have 5 pennies sitting on the table in front of you, that means that you have 5 pennies, one time. You have one set of 5 pennies. 5 x 1 = 5. If someone comes along and takes them all away from you, then you're left with 5 pennies, zero times. You have zero sets of 5 pennies. 5 x 0 = 0. Does that make sense? |

I understand the damn difference. I understand Limit/Calculus and all that shit. In the math world the pennies disappear. In the real world they don't.
I know the fucking rules.

There's no way you can have a penny, and create an exact duplicate down to the subatomic/quantum level.
However, you can add a penny to a penny as long as you understand the second penny has a completely different atomic structure and mass.

In the real world, zero instances of something is zero. Multiplication doesn't cease to exist in the real world. If you have zero pennies and you multiply that by 5, do 5 pennies appear? You're nuts. |

No offense but you're mistaken here, Path. 5 x 0 = 0 x 5 = 0. In the real world it translates to no pennies in the first place. 5 x 1 = 5 5 x 2 = 5 + 5 5 x 3 = 5 + 5 + 5 5 x 0 = 0 and the same for anything multiplied by 0. Cant remember the details for imaginary (and negative) numbers though As a couple of others already pointed out I guess the more interesting idea is 5/0 (undefined, but you can also imagine infinity for obvious reasons). This would favor your case more |

You take any quantity and divide it by nothing you have the quantity because you haven't done a damn thing to it? And the same goes with multiplication, addition and subtraction.
I keep saying. I know calculus. I know limits. On a Cartesian coordinate system as x approaches 0. Y approaches infinity. I know the fuckin' rules. I just have my opinion about zero. Christ.
