RE: Infinty

Infinity shares a lot of properties with zero.
0*x = 0
∞*x = ∞
I realize I'm heading into shaky ground with division, but I think this is pretty correct.
x/0 = ∞
x/∞ = 0
Powers:
0^x = 0
∞^x = ∞
Root:
x(sqrt)0 = 0
x(sqrt)∞ = ∞

As for adding and subtracting, let us regard -∞ and +∞ as the same: ∞. Just like -0 = +0.
By adding 1 to 0, we get 1. If we were to add 1 an ∞ amount of times, we would get ∞.
If we were to subtract 1 from ∞ an ∞ amount of times, we get 0.
By subtracting 1 from 0 an ∞ amount of times, we get -∞, or ∞.
By adding 1 to ∞ an ∞ amount of times, we get 0. 0-∞+1, 0-∞+2, up till 0-∞+∞

RE: Infinty

Some of these need to be rigorously defined a bit more.  For one thing, it is not true that if you subtract 1 an infinite amount of times from infinity that you get zero.  Also, within infinity itself there are cardinalities above Aleph0.  Set Theory is a fascinating field of study, and they define cardinal arithmetic to a tee!

I appreciate your enthusiasm, however!

And, if you have time, also my science fiction story about Sasquatch and his struggle to remain free.  It combines "monster fiction" with philosophy and questions about how humans came to be:
