MY IMAGE! WHAT HAPPENED?! IT GLITCHED TOO

The reason why these glitches happen is because you are attempting to assign the value infinity (plus or minus) in ways that make no sense. Infinity is not a number. It is a concept that defines any numeric value that is so large (or so small in the case of negative infinity) that it is not countable and therefore cannot be used in the physical world. In the make-believe world of computer simulation, we can assign the value of + or - infinity to objects but the software can only deal with them in a manner that was decided upon by the programmer (aka, coder). In some cases assigning infinity to simulated objects will cause glitches, instabilities, or even computer crashes in worst-case scenarios.
