I am trying to find whether $\{1\}\longrightarrow\mathbb{Z}\longrightarrow\mathbb{R}\longrightarrow\mathbb{R}/\mathbb{Z}\longrightarrow \{1\}$ splits. My conjecture is it is not as we cannot find a non-zero group homomorphism from $\mathbb{R}/\mathbb{Z}$ to $\mathbb{R}$. If my conjecture is correct, can we tweak the above sequence so that it splits?

Is not split:
If it is we get $\Bbb R=\Bbb R/\Bbb Z\oplus \Bbb Z$ which is not possible, because there is no element of finite order in $\Bbb R$.
