    Is this a joke?

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/berkshire/conte..._feature.shtml

    I mean seriously what the heck. This guy hasn't solved anything. All he has done has renamed an undefined/NaN and claims it will solve all sorts of computer and mathmatical problems. What an idiot. Load of nonsense.

    Who's the more stupid? The fool? or the man who follows the fool?

    The BBC are showing their stupidity with this guy. It must be a sad state of affairs when the news consists of that idiot
    Life is one big rock tune

    Re: Is this a joke?

    Wow thats amazing. Now when i divide by zero on the calculator, i can finally get an answer... nullity.

    The proof...

    00 = 0/0

    so thats 0 x 0 x 0 x .... zero number of times, meaning it doesn't exist since we don't times anything to begin with, so basically we're saying 0/0 is equal to a number that doesn't exist... wow... isn't that what we already have?

    The worse part is he teached his young students this stuff. Forever implanted in their brains is this utter nonsense.

    I can see this as a Snopes article a few years down the line.

    There's no limit to the possibilities. I only mentioned ethanol because drinking is an integral part of his daily routine.

    I've invented a new number.

    When you add infinity with nullity you get...

    BIGGITY!

    This does not answer my question, or someone needs to change the answer...
    How are black holes created? God Divided by zero. No, wait, it was Nullity all the time.
    I guess they are not really black holes.
