Again in the quest for potential form!

Without all of the annoying intro this time!

Is there a potential form of the verb ある/あります？

Short and sweet,

lol that made me laugh. but it is true a lot of the time.

anyway potential form for ある　is あり得る　(u can read that as both ありうる　or ありえる)

negative potential form is あり得ない　(ありえない). somehow the negative only has one reading...don't ask me why lol

hope that helps

How would you use those words? Kind of like saying in English (I apologize in advance; I'm a Math major) "there can never exist a time when 1 = 0"?

many ways u can use it

look up sentence examples in Eijirou (www.alc.co.jp) or WWWJDIC (http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/~jwb/cgi-bin/wwwjdic.cgi?1C)

as for your sentence, I'd translate it as １が０になるのはありえない.
