-1, -5 have a value, but its negative. 0 has NO value.

kinda the point...not only is it not helpful, but it strips help from its very pressence. Kinda like the VP at a highschool dance.

If you live below sea level, you are -xx. If you are standing on the starting line of a race, and take two steps backward, you are -2. If it is 0 degrees outside, and then gets colder, it becomes -5 degrees. There are many more real life examples. It also works if there are many thousands of bacteria and you kill a few thousand, you are now -thousands of bacteria.

You have no money in your pocket. You borrow five bucks, spend it all on lollies, eat all the lollies, but you still owe someone five bucks. So when were you poorer, when you had no money or when you owed someone five bucks? You don't just have nothing, you 'have' negative five dollars. Many times, a negative sign just means that something is going in the opposite direction to what you first assumed. So 4 kilometres south can also be thought of as minus 4 kilometres north. Minus 2 amps in one direction is the same as 2 amps in the opposite direction and so on.

Another example: Imagine love and hate have a numbers. You love your partner a 20. For a stranger you don't know who makes no difference to you, you love them exactly 0. Someone you really dislike, you hate 20 If love is the opposite of hate, and positive is the opposite of negative then if you love your partner +20 much, you love the person you really dislike -20 much :-)

Zero only has value as a "placeholder" when surrounded by numbers other than zero. See 1 is'nt of much value until you start squeezing 0's in on it's right side. The same holds true for 0's on the left side. And the use of a negative sine in both of the above examples doesn't change zeros value.

[^^^] = [ Money $1 + Debt $ 1 ] = [ (+1) + (-1) ] = [ ( 0 ) ] = [ Nothing ] = [ ( 0 ) ] [^^^] = [ Dhana $1 + Rina $ 1 ] = [ (+1) + (-1) ] = [ Sunya ] = [ Kha ] = [ ( 0 ) ] [^^^] = [ Dhana $1 + Rina $ 1 ] = [ (+1) + (-1) ] = [ Living Zero ] = [ Kha ] = [ Dead Zero ] [^^^] = [ Dhana $1 + Rina $ 1 ] = [ (+1) + (-1) ] = [ Being Zero ] = [ Kha ] = [ Not-being Zero ] [^^^] = [ Money $1 + Debt $ 1 ] = [ (+1) + (-1) ] = [ ( 0 ) ] = [ ( 0 ) ] = [ Nothing ] = [ ( 0 ) ] = [ (+1) + (-1) ] = [ Nothing ] = [ ( 0 ) ] = [ Sunya ] = [ Kha ] = [ ( 0 ) ] = [ Living Zero ] = [ Dead Zero ] = [ ( 0 ) ] = [ Being Zero ] = [ Not-being Zero ] [^^^], therefore, The meaning of Zero ( 0 ) is 2. If zero is nothing, zilch or nada then how can -1, -5 or -539 678 have any value? [^^^] If, Zero ( 0 ) = [ Nothing ] = [ Kha ] = [ Dead Zero ] = [ Not-being Zero ]. ] Values. [^^^] = [ (-1) ] = [ Debt $1 ] [^^^] = [ (-5) ] = [ Debt $5 ] [^^^] = [ (-539) ] = [ Debt $539 ] [^^^] = [ (678) ] = [ (+678) ] = [ Fortune $678 ] Law of Liuhui Brahmagupta http://www.flickr.com/photos/trapassing http://coupdetat.net/Wushu_Sunya_Zero http://www.flickr.com/photos/trapassing/3521687640/sizes/o/
