ZERO-TIME ANALOGY

WHAT DOES ZERO REPRESENT?

1- The nothing

2- An amount.

3- A space

4- An absence

5- Other

Zero represents nothingness, an empty space or an absence. Zero is the opposite of quantity, however multiply the number to its left by ten.

Let's look at this example:

25

2_5

205

In 2_5 there is a zero which is then symbolized by a 0. In this case zero indicates that there are no tens.

ZERO-TIME ANALOGY

The past and the future are linear zeros that indicate the absence of beings, changes and events. Time is represented by a 1 (present) and two linear zeros, one past and one future.

   linear zero        linear zero

---------------- 1 ----------------->

       Past    present   Future

Everything to the left of 1 is past and everything to the right of 1 is future. The 1 represents now. Now we have two zeros: the positional zero and the linear zero. In Philosophy the 1 is the Being and the past and the future are non-Being.
