d isn't a variable dorko, you can't assign it a value. If you had
bothered to learn ANYTHING at all about calculus, you would know that
v = dx/dt does NOT imply that v = x/t. It's amazing that someone who
is repeatedly publicly shown to be mathematically incompetant
continues to try to use math publicly.
