Ontology of Zero

[Demonite]

I thought it's just a number of nothing. Just nothing. Further research, zero holds the true balance (I knew this from a website). Empty, but has infinite possibilities.

So, what do you think about zero?

[salox]

that it represents the sum of every pair of adding opposites

and, very similarly with the void, it is nothing, but it's an element on every set, so in being nothing, it's something

The number 0 like all numbers is an abstract concepts that only exist in our minds. The universality of numbers (3 always being 3) is a result of us creating the definition of each number. While things can exist without our notice in quantities that numbers would reference as examples, there is no need to involve the numbers in that scenario.

I did not understand what you meant here. It appears like a phrase trying to appear wise. ('true balance', 'infinite possibilities')


@salox
Nothing cannot be named. Once nothing is named nothing is not being referred to anymore. 0 is not nothing.

+1 and -1 formed zero... energies, momentum, etc., ended up with 0. so i think, there will be a lot of negative numbers and, their opposite, positive numbers (like +100 and -100 or +999 and -999) summed up to 0. maybe that's why, 0 has infinite possibilities.

So by infinite possibilities you mean there are infinite pairs of numbers that sum to 0? All numbers have that quality. It is nothing special.
