hey sci, what's the opposite of zero?

The opposite of nothing is everything, thus the opposite of zero is a set larger than infinity. (See Cantor)

The additive inverse is, well, 0.
There is no multiplicative inverse of 0.
If you flip it horizontally or vertically, you get 0.
Any other opposites I forgot?

something and everything are equivalent relative to zero

in the same way that zero and something are equivalent relative to infinity

Nothing isnt the opposite of nothing though. Since zero is the lack of any value its opposite would be ALL values

0 is abstract.
Do you mean infinite nothingness or an example of a negative within a construct?

0 is the dividing tipping point lens between nigative and positive.

Therefore its opposite would be a merging point lens between nigertive and positive, even if its less focused and more unbiased to the value's distance from it.

In other words, its the abs value symbol.

But the sum of all elements of R would be 0

>>8083981
Zero is just an element.

To have the notion of opposite, by which you mean inverse, you need to have a function to invert.

So to proceed with your question you must define the operation you are referring to, otherwise it is ill-posed.

if i may elaborate, dividing by 0 is probing the quantity in no parts. Dividing by 1 probes the quantity in all parts. This is the similarity between the tech and math status on this approach.

-0, Opposite of zero is Minus Zero,another name that is behind infinity.
for ex:-fishes in ocean,stars in galaxy,time for every one.
Minus zero is any thing behind imagination.
