This paper and concomitant presentation comprise insight into the mysterious nature of mathematics enumerating several counter-intuitive concepts which could easily belong in the Ripley's Believe it or Not collections. This paper and concomitant presentation constitute a survey of recently proposed theoretical innovations in mathematics and concomitant challenges each of which carries a reward of $1000/-. Most of these inventive ideas are contrary to intuition and common experience. Upfront are a few assumptions and definitions. It begins with a brief history and origin of zero, one, infinity, relative and absolute numbers particularly delineating relationships between a) Micro-Infinity and Macro-Infinity; b) Zero and Infinity; c) Relative and Absolute 0, 1 & Infinity; and d) Infinitesimal and infinitude. The confusion caused by four inconsistent uses of zero and how to obviate it as well as the equivalence and constancy of zero, 1 & infinity and their reciprocals is prominently featured along with their attributes and properties such as unreachable, invisible, indivisible, incomprehensible and many more. As an aid to understanding a graphic representation of zero and infinity in both the relative physical space as well as absolute virtual space is included. Time & space permitting before conclusion and research plan prognosis the author may discuss other mathematical innovations such as the gravitational mathematics, non-decimal arithmetic, and application of hexadecimal arithmetic to sex and gender and how it affects every person on the planet. The myth of random, chaos, uncertainty in life & universe as well as ?Non-3D' physical reality is also shattered once and for all. Likewise the author challenges the constants of nature which are neither correct nor constant. Some other challenges deal with the mathematics of quantum physics including Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, Schroedinger's cat and rabbits both dead and alive at the same time. The talk will be bold but beautiful blend of humor, faith and fanaticism. It will either keep you at the edge of your seat or you will be snoring and wake up refreshed for the next speaker.
