Thursday Thunks: Does "Zero" Exist?

This week's Thursday Thunks question is Does Zero exist? Why or why not?


This seemingly complex question posed by Berleen is actually pretty simple to answer from my point of view. I say that zero does in fact exist because it is a quantity that describes:


  • What 1 minus 1 equals
  • My sense of direction
  • What you have left when you eat the last potato chip out of the bowl
  • The amount of cleaning I did around the house today
I would think of more items for this list, but I have "zero" working brain cells left after this long day. Visit Berleen's blog to join in on Thursday Thunks!
