It is tempting to look at this circular figure as hollow, signifying nothing. But look deeper, and you see it is extremely powerful.
Add more of it to an integer and the value increases ten-fold. (2, 20, 200)
Place one or many of them in the middle of a number, and the value changes depending on where you have placed and how many you have placed. (11, 101, 1001, 10101)
Indeed, its power comes from where it is. Add any number of zeros after the decimal point, and it just means nothing.
Though so powerful, it's very diplomatic and neutral too: right in the centre of the number line, neither negative nor positive. (-1, 0, +1)
For that reason, it's a good point to start over, if you have lost track, by resetting to the centre point. Think of the weighing machine.
So diplomatic, it will not be party to any situation where you have to divide something. No, you can't divide a number by zero.
At the same time, you try to raise any number to the power of zero, and you always get just one.

Z for Zero in on your target
Thank you, Leanne.
DeleteAh, the power of zero. In numerology, it's an amplifier. Some of us aspire to reach zero...
ReplyDeleteI didn't know about the numerology angle. Thanks, Liz
