It's good to see you agree that there's no conservation of

Division by a quantity as it approaches zero is not
always undefined, Tom. The limit, as the denominator
approaches zero, is often the first infinity, aleph-null.

The momentum in any volume of space must be conserved.
The joules in the joules/sec must be conserved. Please
don't try to hoodwink the uninitiated into believing
otherwise.


But you didn't write anything about "The limit, as the
denominator approaches zero," Cecil. I just wrote that
energy and momentum are conserved, but their rate of
delivery certainly isn't. You're just arguing for the sake of
hearing yourself argue, Cecil. As for Aleph-null, that's a
mathematico-logical fantasy that was brought into existence
by giving a name to a made-up abstraction, and then using
a set of artificial, logical manipulations on the name as proof of
its existence. It's a stunt Western philosophers have been using
for centuries to confuse the gullible. I'm surprised
an intelligent man of science, like you, fell for it, Cecil.
