    Just a deep thinking question. Does Zero exist? Why or why not?

    Live for the moment. If you are there physically, and not mentally, or vice versa, then the person or persons you are with are not enjoying the full benefit of who you are, and you also are not enjoying who you are and what you have to offer. So I ask you, What is the point. Just go home. And be alone, then you can just enjoy yourself, and no one will miss you, because you weren't there to start with. Confused yet? LOL

    Oh, I get it. maebarr, you are looking at my signature. Ignore it. It's just something fun that appears whenever I type. It's not part of the question.

    Zero is the absence of number like dark is the absence of light.

    Either that or you'll find it between I and P ;)

    Carefully touch the tip of your index finger to the tip of your thumb. Ignoring all the other fingers, that is a zero and it exists quite well at the end of each of our arms too! Without it, cavemen (and cavewomen) would have turned out to be gas in some other unimaginable creature's car by now.

    Think about THAT if you want some deep thinking! :eek: LOL

    Yeah, but zero is nothing, so it doesn't exist.

    That's right in there with if infinity isn't real, then when it ends what's on the other side?

    These are more like mobias strips of thinking. Let's swim to the really deep end and wonder how many zeros are printed (on anything) in the entire world -- that's got to be a whole lot of nothing, eh?? :D

    Here's something that will make you think. 1/infinity (one over infinity or one divided by infinity) equals 0! Strange, isn't it?

    This isn't exactly true.
    The number is so small that it is impossible to comprehend.
    As Infinity is the largest possible number so 1/infinity is the smallest possible.

    It is like there is no beginning and no end. It has always been. 0 represents everything that is, was and will be. It is always continuous.

    Well, I'll have to agree, but only on paper. In theory there is 0, but maybe not in the real world.

    Now here's a real teaser. What about negative numbers? Can you have -3 apples?

    Negative numbers are Definitely for imaginary situations.
    It is impossible to have less than nothing of a physical thing, and before you start this also applies to more than 100% of a real thing.
