Couldn’t the result of division by zero be “defined”, just like the square root of -1?
Edit: Wow, thanks for all the great answers! This thread was really interesting and I learned a lot from you all. While there were many excellent answers, the ones that mentioned Riemann Sphere were exactly what I was looking for:
