They say negative numbers exist.
I say, you can't have anything less than 0.
For example: I have 1 apple in my hand, you take it away, so I have 0. That is nothing! How can you go below nothing? You can't!
Now, you reach in my hand to take another apple away. I do not have negative 1 apple, I still have 0. No amount of negative apples you give me will ever = 1 apple to replace it.
In accounting, they teach us of debts are -, profits are +
That is so wrong. If I owe someone $100, that is a POSITIVE $100 I owe. I just don't have it yet. I never have less than $0. I can have $0, but not less. I can work up to a POSITIVE $100 to pay the debt, leaving me back at $0, but no matter how hard you try, you can never have less than nothing at all existing.
How is less than nothing even possible? Can you imagine paying everyone with yoru negative $$$ that you don't have yet? How long will it take to make $1 if you give them ALL of the millions of -$$$ u don't have?
Opinions on this? Thanks
