How is this possible?
Anything times Zero has to Equal Zero."

I found that in a magazine.
Must not be a math magazine because there's a problem with that.

There's a problem in your math.

A / I = 0
A / I * I = 0 * I
A = 0
...?

Mathematically speaking, it's impossible to divide A/B for non-negative real numbers A and B and hope to get 0 without A = 0. Their logic is fallible not only because they treated infinity like a variable, but because they totally butchered the properties of equality by not going through it step by step.

Oh but whatever, talisman's on the case.
