I always wondered about that. I mean, it makes sense because you cannot have a group of nothing, and if you could the entire world would collapse upon itself.

I always thought that dividing anything by zero is the same as multiplying it with infinity :-\

Multiplying by infinity should theoretically just keep multiplying forever, never stopping.
Dividing by zero just divides something into nothing. Thus making the world implode.
