Colonel Dewey's goal with the Ageha Project is actually to deliberately exceed the Limit of Questions by awakening the scub coral, an enormous mass of a colonial alien life form that covers the planet and, as it turns out, is sentient. If the Limit of Questions is exceeded, the fabric of reality starts to break down. The Limit of Questions is a metaphysical concept at play in the world of Eureka Seven that essentially sets a limit on the number of sentient lifeforms that can exist in a given space.See also Logic Bomb, which can overlap with this. An Eldritch Abomination is something whose very nature is continuous division by zero itself.Ĭompare Awesomeness Is Volatile, where Chuck Norris can divide by zero. When Time Travel is involved, usually results in a Time Crash (and a Fate Worse Than Death for all involved). Someone making a suggestion that is severely unlikely is often compared to this.

It led to a joke on image boards that if someone were to divide a number by zero, it would break reality.

To divide a number by zero is the one thing elementary math teachers tell you that you simply cannot do (but as usual, Real Life is more complicated than elementary school see the Trivia section). Could be the result of a Time Paradox, the result of a Yin-Yang Clash, or an unstoppable force meeting an immovable object, or the risk behind the Forbidden Chekhov's Gun. The characters did something so incredibly wrong that reality itself couldn't handle it.
