I’ve got $10 that says Zero has meaning.

Dear Is Mise,

You've proved the statement. The 0 in 10 gave it meaning. One of the meanings of zero is that its position in a number changes the value of a number.

I must admit to a very slight amount of 'tongue in cheek' when I posted before.
However, what I said is correct.
Zero does not exist physically.
It is a useful mathematical concept only, as is the square root of minus one.
As all matter is in motion, zero exists as an instant in time rather than anything else.
And even then, we cannot have such a small increment of time.
So zero is in trouble?

Because we cannot express all values exactly, I cannot help but wonder if there is another form of mathematics which has so far eluded us.
My tentative title for it is 'inside out mathematics'.
Our present system matches up with it a lot of the time.
And then our system seems to be correct.
But just as often it is unable to express an exact amount of something.
There must be an explanation for this oddity.

Long ago I found that the best way to learn a subject was to take one fact about it, and pursue that one fact only.
In the process, one of necessity read about many aspects of many other things.
And so knowledge flowed in in a friendly and acceptable way.
It doesn't matter that the first fact is doubtful, as it might well be discarded along the way.
But start somewhere you must, however odd the starting place.
I allow myself to think of odd things in odd ways.
Restricting one's thoughts to the plain and ordinary is not the way to go.
