The new theory of nullity
Schoolchildren from Caversham have become the first to learn a brand new theory that dividing by zero is possible using a new number - ‘nullity’.
…Dr James Anderson, from the University of Reading’s computer science department, says his new theorem solves an extremely important problem - the problem of nothing.
“Imagine you’re landing on an aeroplane and the automatic pilot’s working,” he suggests. “If it divides by zero and the computer stops working - you’re in big trouble. If your heart pacemaker divides by zero, you’re dead.”
Nope, this is not an excerpt from the Onion, it’s from a BBC article.
