Wait, why is it i? How does 1/0 = sqrt(-1)?

i = Unknown/impossible digit.

Because i is an imaginary number (It isn't a real number).

Because 0 is the scientific root to 1.

No, 1 is the square root of 1...

i is imaginary, yet that doesn't mean 1/0 is imaginary... it can be any number, right? That's why they call it undefined. I think you could also say 1/0 = ∞.

i = 1/0
So... i + i = ????

i+i=2i

You have a point. When dividing 1 by 0 is pretty much the same as dividing by ∞. That could be any number starting in 1-9, so it could be:
1
.5
.333
.25
.2
.1667
.142
.125
.1
Then followed by a recurring amount of numbers between 0-9, which would still give you a number between 0-1, unless that number is a recurring 0, then you get caught in a paradox.
