How a black hole is made

This clip shows how a black hole is made, take a careful look at the ADD button that is pressed before the machine goes nuts..

Geeez, no wonder all blackholes are ADD related..

can you provide a little more information? I'm intrigued but totally confused

Umm what?

Dividing by zero creates a Black Hole apparantly

It's an old mechanical calculator attempting to divide by zero.

Linky

Here is some information on the calculator itself if anyone is interested. I know very little about these myself but it reminds me of the movie "The Imitation Game".

Kind of like the date-reset theory about switching from 1999 to 2000 (Y2K scare), except this purely mathematical in nature instead of computer memory-related haha

I feel let down, at no point did I see a black hole.

Yours is a special type of humour, isn't it?

a reply to: sosruko

I think you have to be God to divide by zero & get a black hole.

I think doing so on a mechanical adding machine = melted metal when the bearings seize.

That was a little different. The transition to year 2000 meant 8 bit computers would crash trying to count higher than 99. Eerything was supposed to stop and everyone die as a result. (lol)

This is an eternal loop dividing by itself until the power is turned off or the machine grinds itself to dust.

Either or, funnier than hell.

haha thanks for illustrating that for me - I can picture it now. Intrptr you don't disappoint

0/0=1

Is how I divide by zero...
