0 = nothing... just a symbol representing the absence of something or the presence of nothing. The end...

0 is a foundation number. #1 is still the first number, because zero is only there to complete mathematics.

Math would be incomplete without 0, like negatives. Example: -2 is not really -2, it is 0-2.

0 is not a real number.

Nothing does not exist, nothing is what we make it.

When you stare in the air what do you see? Nothing... but does that mean nothing is there?

0 is what we make it, therefore it dosen't actually exist but within our minds to create it as a image of "Nothingness"

Zero can be applied to amounts just as other numbers.

Thus, it's a number.

Not really if you think about it.

Think of zero representing nothing... but is their really nothing?

Zero is a real number in the sense of math.

The actual number zero used to explain "nothing" doesn't.

Is there really nothing? Yes.

You're saying that there's no such thing as nothing.

This is a stupid topic. Zero is a number in itself because it can represent the value of nothing.

"While mathematicians all accept zero as a number, some others would say that zero is not a number, arguing one cannot have zero of something. Others hold that if you have zero dollars in your bank account, you have a specific quantity of money in your account, namely none. It is that latter view which is accepted by mathematicians and most others."

If Wiki says it, it's thereby true.

0 may or may not be a number, for me it s simply something that defines other numbers just as black is there as an absence of light or blank space and only exists to be filled.

It is a number. I mean, 1000 is a number, and without the three zeros it would only have a value of one.

zero represents nothing.

it is used to fill in a place value of an number where the numbers 1-9 do not belong.

in the number 1,000. the ones place value has a zero because no other number 1-9 belongs there. it's the same for the tens and hundreds area. since the thousands place value has a 1, the number is named as ONE thousand, because there is a 1 in the thousands place value.

in the number 11,000 the same applies there is a 1 in the thousands place value and a 1 in the ten thousands place value. and zeros in the ones- hundreds place value. the number is called eleven thousand

this rule applied to ALL numbers. without zero, we would not be able to do the math in this way and would be using roman numerals or something else instead.

So, zero is an important part of math today. eventhough it represents nothing, without it, we cannot use modern math as we know it.

It depends on where the number "0" is used and how it's used. The number "0" means the absence of a number, but sometimes it can be described as the begnning of something, such as the year.
