Zero was the last number ever created; it filled a void that culture across the globe didn’t even realize existed. Without the concept of Zero, mathematics and science had limitations; cultures could not fully achieve what they were destined to become. Zero is not even or odd; Zero is not positive or negative. Zero is its own identity.
