This is interesting and it reminds me of a very valueble and powerful book. Its title is "The biography of zero :A dangerous idea", and I forgot who
the author was. Anyway, he shares a bit of information about our past history dealing with zero and how the concept was foreign to greece. Blood was
shed over the concept of zero. He concludes zero is poorly understood and its concepts exceed the boundaries of the english language.
For example we say things like, a babies first day when 24 hrs isn't even passed. Zero and infinity go hand and hand. I understand what you are
trying to convey, but I cannot see where the issue lies. I wish I had the book to show you some of the formulas he created dealing with zero and
infinity.
Please research the book, you will appreciate it, it is a rare gem.
but when the reference of everything that exists is traced back to its beginnings, and it is determined to not have a beginning and there was never an
absolute nothing
I totally agree, zero is a concept or an instrument, that we use to understand time, in a human fashion. It really doesn't have a place outside of
the human reality or measuring energy. I mean, it is very, very hard for some to even imagine the concept infinity, when everything we do is kind of
linear based on life and death, beginning and end. Humans assume everything has a start and a finish.But energy is infinite. It is a difficult task
for the tiny human consciousness to wrap around that concept. I hope I didn't go totally left with this but, if I did, just check out the book
