multiplication: The operation that, for positive integers, consists of adding a number (the multiplicand) to itself a certain number of times. The operation is extended to other real numbers according to the rules governing the multiplicational properties of positive integers. --dictionary.com

Since infinity isn't a number, you can't even put it in the formula for multiplication.

In theory, no matter how many times you multiply something by zero, it's going to be zero. This is logic.

In math, when you try to multiply by something that isn't a number, you get "undefined" as the result.

You cannot multiply or divide infinity. It's not a number. I'll concede to allowing you to add numbers to infinity (as pointless as it will be and as illogical as it sounds to add numbers to something that isn't a number, like adding three to apple), but that's it.

Aperson's here, so I'll shut up now.
