Zero doesn't exist. Prove me wrong.

No.

You just wrote it down. So it has to exist.

Zero is required as the logical opposite of numbers, similar to how space (emptiness) is the logical opposite to matter.

Just how high are you

>>9091806
Can you tell me a number that doesn't require the concept of zero to exist?

>>9091814
roman numerals had no need for 0

>>9091815
They still needed the concept of zero. Numbers cannot exist without it.

>>9091782
If I had one apple, and I sold it to your mom, how many apples do I have left?

It's a place holder for nothing.

>>9091818
why

>>9091825
Zero is the opposite to numbers, i.e. it is the lack of a number.

1 is 1.
1 is also the lack of any other number other than 1. That requires the concept of zero.

>>9091825
Something and nothing has to exist for the something to have a concrete boundary

>>9091834
All you need to count is 1 and 2

>>9091837
I'm not following?

>>9091839
You don't need 0 to count. You need 1, and you need the next number to establish a reference point. That's 2. Once you have 1 and 2, you have all the other numbers too since you now know the distance between 1 and 2.

>>9091843
What's the distance between zero and one?

>>9091834
>>9091836
>>9091836
nothing exists as a concept separate from zero, you can have a number system without zero.

the "boundary" is not writing any number at all. see roman numerals

>>9091848

1

>the "boundary" is not writing any number at all. see roman numerals

So you have just shown that the concept of zero (aka nothing) is a boundary.

>>9091853

Zero is the distance, not 1.

>>9091782
Zero is an abstract representation of non existency, just like one is an abstract representation of a unit.

Zero exists because its a concept.

It's not like you can have zero apples and have some sort of less than one apple made of matter.

>>9091857
right, but you dont need the concept of nothing to have numbers, which is what i was talking about

>>9091859
Kill yourself tripfag, you're also wrong
Hope your mom gets cancer

in scales where "negative numbers" do not apply zero is a hypothetical number, like infinity
where they do it's just a regular number

if u cant hAvE ZeerO then why does yer computer use ones and zeeroes. Ha

By saying "0 does not exist," you are presupposing 0 exists. If 0 truly did not exist, you would not be able to name it.

>>9091782
That's the point

What is the cardinality of the empty set?
Check and mate, faggot.

>>9091789
Actually that is a correct proof. A descriptor exists if you can write it down or at least count it up. Since OP wrote it down, he has successfully described the number 0 in its entirety.

0 exists
prove me wrong

>>9093074
ur a faggot zero is defined as the empty set its just a name 0:={}

Numbers don't exist, OP. They are merely symbols that we associate with this abstract concept of quantity. Merely an invention of humans to simplify and organize the natural workings of the universe similar to how we've invented letters to aid in communication. In the realm of mathematics both infinity and zero exist if your meager minds would even attempt to wrap an understanding around both symbols, you'd know that both symbols have a theoretical and numerical application.

Zero does exist.

Prove me wrong.

>>9091834
You need to explain why the lack of a concept is a concept, until you do that you aren't making an argument

what you have come to know as zero is not zero, but unity.

you think 1 on the number line is 1, but it is in fact not 1

it is +1 from unity in the positive direction.

zero is the fundamental beginning. it is not empty; it is completely full: at one with itself. no deviations in any direction.

>>9091782
It exist metaphysically, which is still technically existing. It's like saying 1 doesn't exist. You pseudo intellectuals need to stay on 2chan.

>Prove me wrong.
P1: if (and only if) zero does not exist, then faggot would not post about zero.
P2: faggot posts about zero.
C: therefore zero exists, QED.

>>9091782
Exists in what way? That depends on your ontological system and philosophical stance. I think you are a platonist, since you, as it seems, believe that abstract objects such as concepts and mathematical entities can and do indeed "exist".

>>9091782
How else would we represent the number of your accomplishments?

>>9091837

Not if you've reached fucking 13th century mathematics. You can't have algebra, coordinate systems or basically anything above arithmetic without it.

>>9091852
But then you would have to represent nothing with something around the system with which you operate, just a blank. Instead you exhaust every possibility by including the empty space as part of your system. Now you can represent something and nothing. Zero, null set, null everything.
