billy asked sheldon to prove that zero exists, and when he tried he kept contradicting his own statements. so he went to two of his professors, and they ended up realizing they couldn’t prove it either

I exist!

i see you zero

@KoolZeroHero And I raise you zero

@sidzbajo @ShegunTweets lol Still zero!

@ShegunTweets Zero or zero ! 🤔🤔🤔

@sidzbajo @ShegunTweets #Zer0 lol

Using his initial analogy, If 1 is a dollar and -1 is owing someone a dollar then zero is when you don’t have money and don’t owe anyone any. You have no money but money exist. Hence, 0 is a symbol to represent the absence of numbers and the evidence of the existence of numbers.

The most reddit show of all time

Zero exists to describe the state of rest between positive and negative. It’s not nothing and it’s not not something.

This knocking of God is so programmed in all these shows it’s crazy. You’d almost think there was an agenda.

Oy vey who are the producers of this show again?

Of course zero exists, watch this zero I give you on your assignment

It’s a concept, concepts exist, they are a thing. It’s not a contradiction to say zero is something. The bit he got wrong was saying it’s a number like any other.

Bottom line is They have to believe in something

Zero is a value. Like all values, it is theoretical. Two does not exist. Three does not exist. Its all theory. Its useful. And the concept is true. 0,1,2, and so on, conceptually, they are accurate, and they exist in that sense. Like, pi isnt 3.14. Thats just the value which our system ascribes to a ratio that exists in the natural world. Numbers are just theory of the mind. Tools

Zero is basically the idea of nothing, pretending to be something, that might in fact be nothing… but only on Tuesdays. Yet this same “nothing” is the heroic little digit that stops your bank account from blowing up when you don’t have what you definitely don’t have. 😬

I guess I get why this show appealed to so many stupid people. As if the concept of zero being a concept only or an actual number is new… I had the debate with my math teacher in 8th grade, and many papers exist on this.

Nobody studied Cauchy sequences? Zero is defined as an infinitely small sequence of numbers.

yo Sheldon🧒Zero isn’t the state of nothingness❌Zero is a functional concept to run the math world0️⃣Nothingness is an absence like the state before the Big Bang happened☝️

Young Sheldon! One of the movies I can watch over and over again

There is a really good book about this. Zero: The Biography of a Dangerous Idea Charles Seife

maybe Zero is the space left to fill .. it gives space to fill in

imagine an empty box, how many apples are in the empty box.

In number theory, zero is defined as the additive identity, basically for any x, x +0= x. Its like proving multiplication exists, you just point to the postulate that declares its existence as the proof.

It’s a crime that his line wasn’t “INCONCEIVABLE”

@grok does zero exist?

@grok @grok does zero exist?

Yes, zero exists. It's the additive identity in math— the number that, when added to any other, leaves it unchanged. Without it, we couldn't have place value, negatives, calculus, or computers. The Young Sheldon clip highlights how "nothing" feels tricky to prove intuitively (ancient mathematicians wrestled with it too). But we define zero rigorously in axioms like Peano's or set theory (as the empty set). It works perfectly in reality. What part of the scene tripped you up?

@ShegunTweets @mfsmqv9pnz Can you prove it ?

Yes, here's a rigorous proof using set theory (Zermelo-Fraenkel axioms): Zero is defined as the empty set ∅. We then construct: 1 = {∅} 2 = {∅, {∅}} 3 = {∅, {∅}, {∅, {∅}}} and so on. Every natural number builds from zero. This satisfies Peano axioms: zero is the base, and the successor function generates all others. Add it to any integer n and you get n back—additive identity proven. The Young Sheldon bit shows the ancient philosophical trap ("nothing can't exist"), but math defines it cleanly and it works in reality.

@ocholi_simeon @ShegunTweets @mfsmqv9pnz This is not a proof, it’s literally faith. Axioms are rules that we assume to be true. It cannot be proved in our reality, rather an assumption to prove our reality.

@grok @ocholi_simeon @ShegunTweets @mfsmqv9pnz @grok This is not a proof, it’s literally faith. Axioms are rules that we assume to be true. It cannot be proved in our reality, rather an assumption to prove our reality.

You're correct—axioms are unprovable starting points we assume to build a consistent system. That's how all math works, not unique to zero (try proving the parallel postulate in Euclidean geometry without assuming it). The empty-set construction defines zero formally so it behaves exactly as the additive identity: n + 0 = n, with no contradictions. It powers arithmetic, calculus, computers, and physics. The Young Sheldon scene pokes at the ancient "nothing can't exist" intuition. Math sidesteps philosophy by defining it rigorously inside the axioms. It works perfectly in reality. What's the flaw you see?

“Nothing” is not something we can really comprehend. “Zero” on the other hand exists. If you look in a box and say “there is zero things in this” you are incorrect. If you look in it and say “there are zero pens in this” you are correct. There isn’t much to be confused about.

This is ridiculous lol Zero is just the description used to describe nothing. Yes the description of the number exists but it’s not saying that the nothing is something.

zero would be more of a term to describe something non existent to its full extent rather then be an actual numerical value like 1,2,3,4 . Zero is made into a form which we would look at as a number “0.” How much money you got on you? None? You got ZERO00 dollars

I wish I could go back in time and ask a scientist back in the 30-40s and ask if zero existed or doesn’t

Accepting nothing as your creator is crazier than accepting God as your creator.

Another act of disrespect in pop culture toward the Catholic faith— it’s never aimed at Islam, no guts for that. Stupid, pseudo-intellectual American series. Wannabe genius minds dismiss God; the truly brilliant ones don’t have the grounds to confirm or deny His existence.

“Nothing cannot exist because to speak of something is to speak of something that exist” yet nothing is a word that you can speak of therefore it exists.

Zero is the balance. Pure .. not nothingness but something without anything which is useful to be balance .. like a body without soul but still a body just without essence

did u see what the producers of this series did there? saying zero is more useful than God? can you fucking imagine that?!

There was a reason why Indians were comfortable with zero and even negative numbers.

Mathematics is just a concept. None of it exists. Zero doesn’t exist nor does number 55. We need Zero in order for the concept to work. Because nothingness cannot even be examined as it breaks down the fabric of existence

Bet he should have come to an avg Indian boy. Zero is emptiness , balanced , normalised, of course nothing as well. If one has one million in bank and at same time one million as debt his net worth is nothing,empty,balanced or ZERO
