Invented
separately in both India and South America, the numeral zero
is an important idea in the development of any mathematical,
organizational system. It acts as a placeholder for higher
integers and allows for the existence of negative numbers.
In the Cartesian coordinate system, 0 stands for the starting
position. In a way, it is the "you are here" of
the universe.
0
the only thing that both is and is not. It is the only indivisible
number. And it is the only number that guarantees a negative
result when something is taken away from it and a
positive result when something is added to it. And I plan
on doing a lot of adding here.
