The closer to zero a positive divisor is, the higher the result is.
The closer to zero a negative divisor is, the lower the result is.
If 0 is the closest number to 0, wouldn't the result be infinitely positive and infinitely negative at the same time? The infinities would cancel out or something and the result would be 0.
I'm obviously wrong because all mathematicians disagree with me, but I just wanna know why I'm wrong.

Infinity isn't a number that is at all quantifiable, so they can't cancel out. The limits approach two different arbitrary values and so there isn't an actual number that exists.

And who are you, the proud lord said, that I must bow so low?
Only a cat of a different coat, that's all the truth I know.
In a coat of gold or a coat of red, a lion still has claws,
And mine are long and sharp, my lord, as long and sharp as yours.
And so he spoke, and so he spoke, that lord of Castamere,
But now the rains weep o'er his hall, with no one there to hear.
Yes now the rains weep o'er his hall, and not a soul to hear.

Actually, you can look at this graphically as this can be conveyed visually. You will need to look at how to find vertical asymptotes as you limit approach zero. So what you are showing is actually a step function, when the denominator is continuous as it approaches zero.
another way to look at it is as you 1/x (as x approaches zero), the graph will approach infinity as the answer gets larger and larger.
1/1=1
1/0.1=10
1/0.001=100
1/-1=-1
1/-0.1=-10
1/-0.01=-100

Here's one reason you can't divide by 0.
Let a = b
a^2 = ab (multiply both sides by a)
a^2 - b^2 = ab - b^2 (subtract b^2 from both sides)
(a-b)(a+b)/(a-b) = b(a-b)/(a-b) (factor both sides of the equation and divide both by (a-b). Keep in mind (a-b) = 0)
a+b=b
b+b=b (because a=b)
2b=b
Let b =1, 2=1
If you are able to divide by zero you can make 2=1.
It just causes a whole bunch of problems.
Here's a video on it too.
All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost
The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost
From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring
Renewed shall be the blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king

EDIT: Is this even a number?!
uh
thats a number
but thats prolly some of the most incorrect math i've seen this month
