Thanks a lot for all your replies.
I would like to know whether divisor of zero( in any of the systems
having them), has really helped in modelling or understanding any
physical or other real life system. In other words, has such elements
been useful in explaining some physical phenomena or has it been more
of a problem with no use in describing any real life phenomena..
In physics, all over the place, you use matrices. Matrices are also
used to model many processes (linear Markov chains, for example).
The rings of matrices are chock-full of zero divisors.
