There is a high likely hood that you will be answerred.

It depends on where the divison by zero is taking place. If electrons reach speeds around the speed of light in the collapsing core of a dying star, the equation for determining mass at high speeds becomes a division by zero, which causes the core to gain infinate density, thereby creating a black hole. If on Earth and with simple arithmatic, nothing happens. Basically, the problem 1/0 is an invalid command in mathematics. It is telling you to take an object that exists (represented by 1) and divide it into 0 pieces (basically telling to stop existing). Since this violates the conservation of energy (stating that the total amount of energy in the universe cannot change), and since all mass contains an immense amount of energy, this is in theory impossible. These are only two possible occurances, but there are so many others that I cannot list them all in this single post.
