Well, as much as everybody else likes to discredit this giving examples like 14/0 = Nullity and 20/0 = nullity so nullity = 14 and it equals 20 therefore false, I have a simple counter example that I would like you to discredit.

First of all, "nullity" is not defined as 14/0 if I get what this guy is saying. It is defined as 1/0. Therfore, 14/0 would factor into 14 * 1/0, or 14 * "nullity". this seems to me like it would behave like (-1) ^.5 . In other words 14/0 != 20/0 . You would actually be able to compare scales of divide by zero in a similar way that calculus works with limits. I.e. x * (14/0) = 20 /0 what is x ? well, x *14 *(1/0) = 20 * (1/0) divide both sides by (1/0) or nullity, and they cancel out. Then x = 20 / 14 or 10/7 . That seems very intuitive to me, and I think it might work with limits in calculus. Maybe "nullity" is a convenient notational method to retain the "scale" of a divide by zero operation. After all, i (-1 ^.5) is not on the real number line, so why should "nullity" have to be?
