Скачать или смотреть Episode 27: Why Zero Is Philosophically Dangerous

   / @roshandavidpaul  

For thousands of years, mathematics followed one simple rule:
Numbers count things.
But then something appeared that broke this rule completely.
Zero.
Zero counts nothing.
Zero represents absence.
And yet… it behaves like a number.
This single idea shattered ancient mathematical beliefs and forced thinkers to rethink the very meaning of numbers.

In this episode, we explore why zero was not just a number —
but a philosophical revolution.
Because sometimes…
the most dangerous idea in mathematics
is the one that represents nothing.
