Prove that 0 exists

Binary has two digits. If the two digits exist, binary exists, computers exist, internet exists.
If for you the two digits (Zero and one) in binary do not exist, then there are no computers and this post does not exist nor does your subject question. @InfinityAaroZ

That fact that we all see your infinite subject question is proof that zero exists.

Zero is the now & present, the negative numbers is the past and the positive numbers the future.
Zero is here at the present moment in time. To measure something we need to compare it with something.
Since we are all stuck in the present, we cannot measure zero.

I hate to say this, @mayaisarat , but the existence of 10 does not require zero.

Behold: V + V = X

0, acting as a positional place holder, is indeed quite convenient, however.

Ok, I fibbed.

There IS a way to rebut, at least as a sophist might, what I said at first. But one must be a wizard to conceive and then articulate the rebuttal.

Of course, it IS Halloween, and this IS a chess server. So wizards COULD appear.

Yes but imagine if there was no 0. It has to exist because without it maths as we know it couldn’t exist without zero, proving it has value.

@Toscani, why are we including 1 in the binary if we are discussing about 0? I understand that 0 and 1 make up binary code, but does 1 have anything to do with 0? They might be related, but still. So, you are right @Toscani, computers would not exist without binary code nor gaming servers.

But I can guarantee you that you are right.

So, your response, @Toscani?

Pick a point. On flat or in space.

Call it zero.

Pick another point. Call it Pedro.

Now assume you are Euclid and draw a line through zero and Pedro. Extend that line in both directions, as far as you can imagine.

Now call the distance between zero and Pedro with the new name "One."

That distance is your unit. Math follows from there.

@ Toscani are you trying to trick the noble posters?

There is no basket with that label. You began by saying there were only 7 baskets. You've already named them.

So there cannot be another basket.

Sorry I didn't notice the post earlier.

It was a worthy try! Indeed, you may have befuddled a poster or two! Or six.

@InfinityAaroZ

1. You asked the question "Prove that 0 exists"

2. You used the number "0" in your question

3. How can 0 not exist if you used it in ur question which everyone understood

Zero is the number of excuses my wife has not already heard.

No reason to think of zero as something mystical and hard to grasp.
