0 lies below the end. Hence there is an end, even if you cannot see it.

1/0 is NOT a unit fraction damn it! wow.

 Wrong end.

Yeah. I still don't know how WM is going to count the opposite way wrt:
1/1, 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, ...
That would be:
..., 1/4, 1/3, 1/2, 1/1
He can't do it.

 WM is talking about a SMALLEST unit fraction s with: 0 < s < ... 1/1.
 Of couse, there is no smallest unit fractions. If s is a unit fraction then 1/(1/s + 1) is a smaller one.
 1/0 would be the LARGEST unit fraction, if it were a unit fraction. :-)
 Actually, the largst unit fraction is 1/1 = 1.
