How zero gave us mathematical and philosophical power | Talithia Williams

I recommend the book “Zero, the biography of a dangerous idea” by Charles Seife

[@TheJackalLies]

Zero helped bring in a lot of false theories we can’t prove or deny because we add zero but none of the rules of zero. It isn’t a dangerous idea; it’s just propaganda to dilute its literal danger.

In set theory, zero does not equate to “nothing”. It’s an element or object in itself. If an set is empty or contains nothing then it’s just { } but if a set contains zero then it’s {0}. No longer an empty set. Simply put { } ≠ {0}.

[@livephysiology]

The concept of quantifying nothingness also has biological relevance. Homeostasis, which is a crucial concept in physiology is about correcting for changes in the body so that the net change is zero. It doesn't mean there had been no change, rather counteracting the change that occurred to the physiological variable. But of course, how could this be explainable without the ability to quantify no or zero net change?

May be you need to know about aryabatha an ancient Indian astronomer… probably he discovered zero before Islam was founded on this earth.😅

[@ibnmusaa]

@Yoga_Venkon that's true, and then khwarizmi used that to create algebra. He created algebra to establish methods to calculate inheritance and land division based on sharia law. This is my point which is true and interesting.

[@sarathmanoj04mytube]

​@@ibnmusaaso just basic algebra for sharia law, nothing very mathematical like calculating the distance between earth and sun.

[@ibnmusaa]

@sarathmanoj04mytube he created algebra, and not at all. Most stars in the sky, according to Neil Degrasse Tyson, have arabic names for a reason. Creating algebra you have to understand is the basic tool of doing any other math we use today. no Einstein or Newton without algebra. Algebra in arabic means the reunion of broken parts.

[@ibnmusaa]

@sarathmanoj04mytube you also cannot accuractely calculate the distance to the sun without algebra.

[@tanfeexulhaqq4616]

I don't understand why people confuse this so much. There's nothing special about zero, it's the place value system of writing numbers that revolutionized counting. Stop obsessing over the arbitrary philosophical significance of zero.

Actually nothing was invented by Indian Ancestors (Rishimuni or Saints)

[@Representing4II0I7]

What's the correct phrase for it 'discovery' or 'invention'

[@syafiqfirdaus1620]

The concept of "nothing" is not something that was invented, but rather a philosophical and mathematical concept that has been pondered and explored by various cultures throughout history. There's no single individual credited with its invention. The idea of "nothing" has been a subject of contemplation in various philosophical traditions, including Greek, Chinese, and Buddhist thought. It's a concept that has been interpreted and understood in different ways, often tied to ideas about existence, non-existence, and the nature of reality.

[@mdstudio5903]

@@syafiqfirdaus1620 nothing is philosophical but giving it meaning by discovery of zero is the invention. Aryabhat is one who needs to be credited for this and all the scientific discoveries are philosophical before the reality or physical means.Vedha's are oldest scriptures of Hinduism have this philosophy of nothing, It's not about who discovered or invented It's about who get credit for that. It's not about religion, society It's about person or community. Every Society has It's Up-downs like wise Hinduism (before 1500 bce-500 bc) as it's peak where they contributed lot to the world it's same for Islamic world(8th to 13th centuries) like wise Christianity (14th - now).

TIMELINE shows the development of zero throughout the world. The first recorded zero appeared in Mesopotamia around 3 B.C. The Mayans invented it independently circa 4 A.D. It was later devised in India in the mid-fifth century, spread to Cambodia near the end of the seventh century, and into China and the Islamic countries at the end of the eighth. Zero reached western Europe in the 12th century.
