When I divide this number by zero I get this for an answer.

ans = 2345900/0

(* enter image description here *)

What is surprising is that in taking the square root, Mathematica seems to map the entire universe to some town called New Cuyama...

Sqrt@ans

Not sure if bug, feature, or fundamental truth.

EDIT

I'm afraid to show the result of 42/0. If someone else is brave enough...

    $\begingroup$ You were not supposed to know about this number. Now it will be replaced by another number. (Some say this has happened several times before) $\endgroup$ Commented Apr 1, 2020 at 17:29

    $\begingroup$ Please don't evaluate 137/0, a finely structured error hangs your PC at the speed of light. $\endgroup$ Commented Apr 1, 2020 at 17:54

    $\begingroup$ I dunno about the rest of you, but I actually tried to evaluate it... $\endgroup$ Commented Apr 1, 2020 at 20:22
