Each of them times zero is zero, so therefore any VALUE, even INFINITY, must equal zero.

I would know, I aced Trigonometry AND Calculus (Not Pre-Calc) at age 15.

Infinity IS NOT a number, agreed. It's SO MASSIVE in amount that we dare not print it, because its value would exceed even the hardiest supercomputer's tolerance threshhold.

However, since infinity is never-ending, it's therefore a tangible value, just one that is too large to be properly expressed. We can argue all we want, but it remains a fact that, since infinity is never-ending, it must be an endless sequence of the ten basic digits, and, as these ten digits multiplied by zero are all zero, infinity * Zero MUST, by the transitive property, equal ZERO.

Here's the layout:

If 0*0=0, 0*1=0, 0*2=0, etc.
Then (Any single digit)*0=0.

If infinity is an endless string of digits
And (All digits)*0 equal zero
Then All of (Infinity*0)'s digits equal zero.
Therefore, by the transitive property, Infinity*0 = 0.

You just got served... math style. HOO-RAH!
you are wrong eagle... any number * zero is zero... you are right on that one... but infinity is not a number... pretty much falsifying your whole arguement.
