So… That happens when you divide by zero?
actually yeah it can (and sometimes does!) cars won’t start, trains derail, and planes start to fall out of the sky ( the F-16 actually had this problem! In testing it with Israel I think in the middle east, the base the planes were flying out of was at below sea level. It took off OK, but when it went to land, it would descend, reach 0ft sea level, would divide that altitude as part of it’s OS, and then the program crashed (not the plane though). Drove everyone nuts trying to figure it out until someone noticed that little fact, and they immediatly sent out a software patch.
Nope. You got it totally wrong. When one divides by zero, earthquakes begin, volcanoes have accidents, comets come falling out of the sky, buildings fall down, MASSIVE tsunamis swallow continents, all crimes you can imagine become rampant, etc.
On the bright side, though, if one divides by zero, the mess created would make an awesome action film involving Chuck Norris.
If you take your comment to be a metaphorical reference to nearly every aspect of American society, we can also assume that we divided by O (not 0) in November 2008.
Two things:
1.) I love you.
2.) This is going to become a poster in the near future.
Exactly, CheezburgerFanatic you are totally right
Except the action film would also have Mister T, a velociraptor, and Darth Vader also.
Oh,oh,oh, can we also have a monkey with a jetpack in it also? pleeeease? ^_^
JET PACK MONKEY!!!!!!!!!!!!
Chuck Norris can and has divided by zero. Only God and Bruce Lee, along with Chuck Norris, are capable of comprehending the answer.
the human brain can devide by zero
its zero
No. It isn’t how about you take your 20 dollars and devide it among 0 of you friends. How many dollars do each of your 0 friends get? ofc since you don’t have any they get 0 but the 20 dollars dosent becomse 0 it’s still 20.
no take the 20$ divide by zero and cancel the national debt – and then some.
Actually, if you want to divide by zero, you take the limit of 1/x
(or 20/x in this case) as x approaches zero. x gets closer and closer to zero, but never reaches it, so 1/x gets closer and closer to infinity, but never reaches it. Therefore its limit is infinity just like the limit of x as x approaches 0 is 0. This would be the result if someone attempted to divide by zero: Infinity.
SOMEONE took calc 101. lol
actually 1/x has no limit, as x= -0 is negetive infinite, and x=0 is positive infinite. however, 0 and negetive 0 are the same value, but negetive and positive infinite are very different.
That would be great if the national debt were zero. Unfortunately, you’re trying to divide $20 basically by infinity, not zero.
japanese ppl can also divide by zero.
No they can’t…they tried, and look what happened
i was waiting for someone to say that if you divide by zero you get hit by a tsunami
I think he meant that if you divide by zero you turn into a Japanese. Even worse.
Only two know: God & Chuck Norris.
they are the only two in existence to actually divide by zero…………and live…
god is dead
…and no one cares…
if there is a hell
i’ll see you there
WRONG! god is Chuck Norris!
Or is Chuck Norris god?
Chuck Norris IS God
So, Death in the show Supernatural was lying when he said he’d reap God then? Because, really, how would you reap Chuck Norris?
One day my buddy made a program on his Ti-83+ calculator, to make some calculation on physics class easier.
To crush his program, I got his calculator and typed 0 for mass…
Damn those massless, frictionless rods!
i guess this’ll be what happens in 2012. somebody will divide by zero, and this crap will happen.
What the f—!?
That’s a “glory hole” at an above dam lake. (I’m not making that name up)
That particular hole is in California.
Monticello dam “Glory Hole”, Napa County, CA.
“Glory Hole?” Seriously!?
He ain’t making it up… “Glory Hole” is the official name of this kind of holes…
Bell-mouth spillway is the official name. “Glory Hole” is a slang term.
P.S. – Yes, this particular bell-mouth spillway was named after the slang.
ok thats ironey
*irony
Hmm, maybe he means that it contains a lot of iron.
I thought it was the scene from fantastic four rise of the silver surfer o.O man…shows what I know…
So – despite what the song says, we’re not going to be saved by zero?
Best comment award
The Return of the Silver Surfer
It’s the V’s, stealing our water…
I know where that is… I have been there.
dividing by 0=black holes in space and on earth?
Dividing by zero breaks math, which is the foundation of everything.
WTF?
are you f*kin sirious?
P.D. i’m not
it doesnt destroy math, it is just undefined. different.
They only call it “undefined” ‘cuz they’re scared.
It’s only undefined because you can’t get back to the original quantity by the inverse operation. So even though the limit of a/x as x–>0 is ∞ suggests that dividing anything, (a), by zero will result in ∞, multiplying ∞ and zero would have to result in any possible number.
Keep in mind that math is not the foundation of everything. Math is only a human construct that forms the basis of our attempts to explain everything.
A divide-by-zero in physics doesn’t mean the universe implodes – it simply means that you need to restructure your math to explain what’s going on.
too much didn’t read.
So of course you just had to post evidence of your laziness.
We’re dealing with a winner, folks.
Could you say that again, I couldn’t hear you over the sound of Jeff’s water bong.
He said:
“So of course you just had to post evidence of your laziness.
We’re dealing with a winner, folks.”
you should listen more carefully next time.
Everything except Chuck Norris.
there are already black holes in space AND on earth if you know where to look
Speaking of, has the large hadron collider destroyed the earth yet?
comment adward
if it had you would not have typed this
Grammar Award
So THIS is what happened when Albert Einstein tried to divide by zero in one of his theories…. The bastard, but it looks kinda cool….
Ahh Mother Earths belly button, an inney
What’s this photo from?
It’s the “gloryhole” at the Monticello Dam in Napa County California
An extreme water slider’s dream.
it’s actually an under water drainage pipe for lake berryessa. And yes the “Glory Hole” is it’s real nick name. If you YouTube it there are a bunch of cool skate videos.
Hahah, almost got me… I’m so *NOT* going to you tube “Glory Hole”. I value my sanity.
That’s one massive sink hole from environmental toxins!
Even if it WERE a sinkhole, it wouldn’t look like that. That’s a lake, and sinkholes don’t happen at the top of lakes. They would happen at the bottom.
As previously stated, it’s obviously a man made structure.
BLACK-HOLE, when particule accelerator go wrong!
fail, if the LHC made one it would be REALLY tiny and it would evaporate into a puff of energy
Or it could suck in the energy and continue to do so until the universe is swallowed. You just never know…
But a black hole doesn’t operate like that. Its event horizon is too small, and its gravitational pull is really only limited to said horizon. If a singularity really did “swallow” everything, we would have no space. Entities like Cygnus X and galactic centers would have consumed everything already, but the universe is expanding, not moving toward said holes.
actually, if a partical accelerator backfired it would have the capability to create a minature blackhole (non-stationary) which would the ndrift to the center of the earth and make the planet implode.
Backfired? Not at all. Some particle accelerators create microscopic black holes as a part and parcel of doing business – it’s just another day at the office.
These microscopic black holes, as the theory has it, should evaporate into nothing almost the moment they come into existence.
Even if they did not, the Hadron Collider (I’m pretty sure I have the right particle accelerator here) at the point of collision, has both streams of particles angled upwards, creating an x-shaped crossfire. Any black holes created would have a combined vector from those streams that pointed straight out of the Earth’s atmosphere.
Ah, because a black hole just off the bow of our planet would be sooo much better. = /
Maybe not. Though it would be eons (literally eons) before a microscopic black hole accrued the mass to be detectable, much less a threat.
A black hole fired away from our planet at a health fraction of light speed is highly preferable. You do realize that particle accelerators deal with velocities like these, yes?
ok a black hole of the bow of our planet would be very bad!!!
cuz its growing gravatational pull would shiftearths orbit
plus it would make themoon wabble
The reason the Milky Way (not the candybar) is spinning, is that there is a black hole in its center, sucking the entire Milky Way to this point. Therefor I have to disagree with your statement that black holes have a vry small event horizon – although, of course, opinions about what’s small do differ.
If the milky way were within the confines of a black hole’s event horizon, you would be crushed into an infinitely small volume, and quite dead.
The “Event Horizon” is the point at which even light cannot escape from a black hole. The increase in gravitational forces is so rapid and severe as you approach an event horizon that objects are torn into a string of matter simply by the increase in gravitational pull.
P.S.: Galaxies rotate because the natural tendency of mass is to orbit. All it takes is one large source of gravity and one small source, to turn a straight fall into an irregular orbit. Galaxies have millions of gravity sources, and lots of time in which to develop a spin.
I’ve also heard that if you get in between the ergosphere (an egg-shaped region outside the event horizon) and the event horizon, it’s IMPOSSIBLE to stand still unless you travel FASTER than the speed of light, which, according to science, is as fast as anything in the universe can travel. So, in other words, you CANNOT stand still.
At least beats going past the event horizon, because if you go past that, you CANNOT escape; anything you do to try and escape only brings you closer to the core of the hole.
At the Ergosphere, technically, you can not. This is the point at which light’s speed of travel creates an equilibrium, and WOULD stand still. But light has zero mass – even the tiniest of forces propels it to light speed instantly. In a practical sense, there is no such thing as standing still, for light.
Any light trying to escape at this point would zoom off, instead, taking the slightest deviation from a perfectly straight line away from the black hole’s core, and circle the black hole forever.
Anything that is not light, of course, is already dead, and is sucked in.
when did demotivate us become a physics lesson?
I come here for stupidity. This is just confusing.
Seems like you don’t have to come here for that.
you dont have to travel ftl
fold space
thats what warp actually is
like cutting a line through a pizza
then moving the two crusts to meet in the middle.
your speed equals 0 cuz youmove everything around you
Not a fail. We’re not sure hawking radiation exists yet, so if it doesn’t and the LHC creates black holes we’re just screwed. Until we know there is actually a mechanism that allows black holes to evaporate it’s a legitimate concern.
Alright, we HAZ found hawking radiation, but veery faint.
i read somewhere that if the lhc creates black holes it would take more than the current age of the univers to become bigger than a grain? of sand
wait… so that picture isnt computer generated? it actually exists? creepy.
Only Chuck Norris can divide by zero.
Only because Bruce Campbell taught him how.
Hail to the king, baby.
im gonna divine your zero ! Divide this !
Holy crap! XD
I wouldn’t like to get sucked into…. Whatever that is…
Chuck Norris got killed by bruce li in one of his movies and all in all he really isnt that great of a martial artist… lib we-ners. you all probably say that nuclear power plants are bad as well right?… sad sad… Why is man always the problem with issues last time I checked we are all men (not a sexist comment) so if we are the problem why dont you get rid of it and save the time of others who do stuff instead of whinning.
Honestly? none of that comment mad any sense. I feel like you just picked random words and strung them together.
honestly dude you cant get a full meaning out of this…use punctuation…plz ! see ? (6 periods , 1 exclamation point ,1 question mark) Also check this out :
http://liebchen11.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/punctuation-marks1.jpg
^^^ So THAT’s what happens when 6 periods, 1 exclamation point and 1 question mark walk into a bar.
Funny. I remembered the joke being much funnier.
Only one way to rectify it… multiply by zero!
oh wait..
Did you just learn the hard way that multiplying by zero only gives Chuck Norris ultimate power so he can roundhouse kick you hard enough to turn you into a black hole?
multiplying by zero is easy. now dividing by zero… *faints*
multiplying by zero is ALSO ZERO!!! its simple!!!
The limit of a/x as x–>0 is ∞. If you think about it, if you divide something by nothing you’ll have an infinite, or limitless supply.
youse guys are a riot!
It’s actually an electricity generator in Wales UK.During the night it uses excess generated electricity to pump water from a lower lake to this higher one,then during peak daytime periods it flows back down generating electricity when it’s needed.
Wouldn’t you generate excess electricity during the day, then require more at night, when everybody . . . you know, uses lights more?
This is definitely, definitely the glory hole at Monticello dam in California, USA, damming Lake Berryessa. “Glory Hole” is a slang term for any bell-mouth spillway.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monticello_Dam
Lighting is not the primary consumer of electricity, air conditioning is. Peak demand for power (at least in hot climates) is about noon to 6 pm.
Air-conditioning… in Wales?
Yes, Wales. He didn’t say “Arctic Circle”.
Not saying that it doesn’t need AC. I think his point is that Wales is typically not a hot place, and shouldn’t need AC the way more temperate, or hotter climes do.
Not that I’m an expert on climatology, or have ever been to Wales – if his point is totally inaccurate, feel free to say so.
I lived in north Wales for a couple of years – and AC would’ve been handy for about 2 weeks a year. That said the power station plantsman’s talking about was just down the road (and it’s not the one in the picture:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dinorwig_Power_Station
Most people sleep at night, my friend, rather than surfing around on the Cheezburger Network XD
I was obviously thinking more of early evening. My guesses on usage were probably off, and were only guesses. I thought that the time where every single occupied house in the land had their lights on would be a time of peak usage.
Live and learn. I got more of both to do.
The dry picture of the spillway does match the picture posted here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Monticellodamgloryhole2009-10-10.JPG
It looks like we have a winner.
i find it interesting that you can take an interesting photo, turn it into a demotivational photo and then strike up a physics conversation around it.
i find it interesting that you expected something else out of this site
WIN
ha thats the “Glory Hole” in berryessa lake
yeah! it hella is i knew someone else would know
I know four people who would know. They all posted that information to this thread before you.
Annnd . . . I fail, for misreading sentences with broken punctuation. Ah well.
WIN
Oh no, i just divided by zero! I dont think im going to finish this comm…..
OH CRAP, I just divided 555,555,555 by zero and got ERROR on my iPod Touch’s calculator app. Now my iPod Touch is becoming a black h-

You’re all wrong! This is clearly an image of Chuck Norris…….Flushing his toilet.
Jimmy divided by zero one too many times…this last time as while he was in his boat…trying to explain math to a fish…Stupid number, zero……
Dude do i love cheeseburgers
THIS IS JUST A HOLE UNDERWATER CHECK ON YOUTUBE
Wait, wouldn’t anything divided by zero be infinity? *progressively loud roaring noise* Oh god, oh №‼¯¯¯―—―___‗‗‗
So, approx. 4.5 billion÷0. Now let’s see what that equals…
ok devide by zero use your head and explain it like this
0/0 = 0
putting noting into nothing equals nothing
Ah, but if you divide SOMETHING into nothing, that’s where things get interesting!
You’re not putting anything in to nothing, your dividing something among nothing, therefore, you’ll never run out of the orignal something, it becomes an infinite supply.
WHO DEVIDED BY ZERO!?!?!?!?
this is what mayor west put tax payer money into
when you divide by zero, a wormhole opens and there is a collapse in reality. A few moments later, the whole world is engulfed and you will forever swim around the shards of your broken reality.
Black holes and Sonic Booms is where god divided by 0
Sorry, but God is too busy not existing to have time to divide by zero.
Rule 37
DON’T DO IT!
(For those who haven’t read the rules of the internet, rule 37 outlaws division by zero.)

Great web site. Plenty of useful info here. I am sending it to several buddies ans also sharing in delicious. And naturally, thank you for your effort!
Tower deactivated?
This is actually an overflow hole for a dam in lake berryessa. Its in winters CA, go there all the time. This happens when it rains to much.
