So, the Babylonians invented NULL then? That would be even more impressive!
You are gorgeous
I love this history/theology/maths class. Funny animations too, excellent work!
– But why a number can be ever rejected??? 🤔
– Well, according to some religious beliefs… ☝️
– Got it, say no more… 😒
without 0 how would we be able to launch spacecrafts? 😂🤣
Division by zero is still forbidden – up to today, and possibly for ever in future.
It was banned because the authorities tried to limit mathematics to reality as the number 0 enables science to use and abuse imaginary numbers to f with reality. we are currently facing the consequences for doing so again as the number 0 was banned as a matter of fact because they had to deal with the consequences once before which was in the fullest degree of the terms actual meaning 'DEVASTATING'.
This is a marvellous video! Thanks!!! (Not to mention that the lady is drop-dead gorgeous.)
Mathematics is DISCOVERED, not invented.
📖 📖 Either existence has a beginning, in which case there must have been an era when there was no existence, and therefore existence, in order to begin, must have miraculously originated in non-existence – a logical impossibility, or existence does not have a beginning, in which case there was never an era when there was no existence, and existence is therefore eternal and necessary, which is to say it is pure mathematics, the carrier of the eternal truths of reason, logic, ontology and epistemology. According to science, the temporal and contingent universe can and does jump out of nothing at all (“spontaneously”, as cosmologist Stephen Hawking put it). According to ontological mathematics, the temporal and contingent universe can only be a construct of a prior eternal and necessary order, and such an order can only be mathematical, not scientific. There are no miracles. Magic is impossible. Existence can’t be randomly and spontaneously extracted from non-existence. Science believes otherwise. It’s extraordinary that science mocks the miracles allegedly performed by “God”, but has no reluctance in accepting the miracles performed by “Not-God”, by ABG: Anything but God. The problem for science does not seem to be the miracle, but who or what performs it. In ontological mathematics, it’s the miracle that is inherently problematic. Terence McKenna brilliantly observed, “Modern science is based on the principle: ‘Give us one free miracle and we’ll explain the rest.’ The one free miracle is the appearance of all the mass and energy in the universe and all the laws that govern it in a single instant from nothing.” Sorry, science, you don’t get your one free miracle. If your system begins with a miracle, the whole thing is miraculous. Effects must resemble their causes. If your system begins irrationally, the whole thing is irrational. 1 + 1 = 2. Only ontological mathematics prevents appeals to the miraculous, and instead provides total reliance on reason and logic. Existence is incredibly simple when you think about it rationally and logically. So why doesn’t science do so?

Zero is not a number.
Great episode!

One doesn't discover language, one invents language. Math is language. Zero is a mathematical expression. Epistemology should be a prerequisite for all math majors.
smooth cleavage to get the onlyfans demo
My history adviser HATED the phrase "it turns out". He said it was manipulative and therefore unworthy of historical studies. I tend to agree. Though it did take me some time to extricate it from my writing.
Bernhard Riemann know how to divide by zero.😉
And we certainly invented math, because math is a way to explain natural phenomena.
If we discovered the math then all the calculations would be exact and not approximations.
Zero gave us calculus, but also Fortnite? Dang… I guess you win some, you lose some.
You divide zero by one into none sum. Zero is the One so really there's 13. Naw mean? Why do you think we spell one with an O? For the same reason we spell open with an O or Off and On with an O and the on and off symbol is the One&zerO.
