0 + 0 + ... = ?

is it really 0? How is that possible? Isnt it infinity, because I use infinity amounts of something from a set ?

Infinity of 0 element of a certain Set, yet it is empty?'
These things are getting stupider over the time. No. zero is zero and if you add it up indefinitely, it still remains zero.
Short answer: Its undefined

Long answer: It can be anything you want it to be.

Proof:
0+0+0+... = 0*inf

0*infinity is the same thing as the
limit(x->0) x(inf)
=limit(x->0) x(1/x)
=1

However, infinity can be rewritten as the limit(x->0) n/x where n is any number. Using this, we get:
limit(x->0) x(n/x) = n.

Since n can be any number, 0*inf or 0+0+0+... can be any number.
@MrPushwood a lot of lichess off topics seem to be related to these math topics, maybe people find that funny or interesting?

Exactly, MrPushwood you got to chill, and put some effort into your forum posts.
