Well it was a familiar grade when I got my homework back from the teacher!

Yeah, me too until I realized what our world would look like if you took away zero just

And if you like a good math challenge, stick around till the end to help me solve the most

You might be surprised to learn that zero hasn’t been around forever.

Yes, we used to live in a world without it!

Well, an understanding of the concept of zero, at least.

It was invented in India during the 5th century.

And here, it’s closely connected with the ancient culture of this region: Nirvana is

what they call absolute calmness, the absence of anxieties and desires!

So, they came up with a circular symbol denoting this "nothing."

The image of zero itself symbolizes the life cycle or, as it’s also called, “the snake

(We’ll come “full circle” to this idea later on!)

This new revolutionary concept was eventually picked up by the Arabs and included in their

numerical system, which we all use to this day.

But why did it take humanity so long to understand something as basic as “zero”?

Well, think about it: it’s not exactly something you can observe every day.

You can see those 3 birds perched on a tree branch or those 2 bees flying around your

You never see it, never think about it because it’s not there for you to perceive!

We’ve come a long way since the 5th century.

Zero now has countless uses, and a modern world stripped of this basic concept would

Your first thought might be that we could no longer count higher than 9 or lower than

Sure, there would be no counting, but “no” means NONE!

The entire system of counting and measuring would break down without zero.

From there, you can say goodbye to computers!

All your social media, online games, YouTube videos – you won’t get to enjoy them in

The foundation of any computer program is binary code.

While you’re at it, forget about TV, charging your gadgets, reheating food in the microwave,

(Oh, wow, we’re already in the Dark Ages?

Without zero, we couldn’t calculate electricity.

No more Bond movies or cinemas for that matter.

Movie theater projectors work by showing 24 frames per second – you’ve gotta count

Like we’re always telling you to! cNo more stepping on that scale and hoping the number

Clothing sizes and counting calories won’t exist either!

On that note, how will doctors do physicals?

There won’t be an understanding of height and weight.

All that electronic equipment in hospitals wouldn’t work either.

MRIs, X-rays, electrocardiographs – we wouldn’t even be able to count a person’s pulse rate!

Without zero, there’d be chaos with transport.

You wouldn't be able to fill up your car, speed limits would mean nothing – they measure

how much higher you’re going than 0 mph, right?

The Prime Meridian (that’s 0° longitude on the globe) won’t be a thing, which means

Without it, planes and ships will be rendered useless.

How can it measure the distance between two places without a starting point?

It wouldn’t even get that far without satellites!

Yep, they wouldn’t work either since they use binary code.

If people can’t travel, then towns will become isolated.

We’d probably even go back to horses and buggies and paper maps!

Hmm, looks like we could use another “cup half-full” example (although, can’t really

measure the contents of that cup without zero!).

At least your alarm clock will never ring again!

And you won’t need to go to work – schedules and money now mean nothing!

Oh, wait, but then grocery stores won’t be able to stay open.

Price tags, inventory, and, of course, the freezers and refrigerators that store perishables!

You’ll probably need to beef up your farming skills and become completely self-sufficient

because in a world without zero, entire economic systems will cease to be!

Modern mathematics, geometry, physics, and other exact sciences would disappear.

In fact, we wouldn’t be able to measure time itself!

There would be no dates or years – you wouldn’t even be able to celebrate your birthday or

In numerology, zero is the beginning, the source of all numbers – it practically symbolizes

“Yeah, but what about negative numbers?”

Hey, I hear you – and they go back from zero!

Without this oh-so critical starting point, you can’t move in time or numerology either

Every atom, substance, and molecule in the universe came from something, and that something

The universe started with a bang, and space-time has been expanding from there.
