Yes. It was developed or created by an Arabic mathematician. It was used basically as a placeholder in written mathematical functions. Instead of having to write numbers as a combination of numbers. Ten thousand eighty-nine could be written as 10,089. The third zero is the placeholder for the hundreds and the 2nd zero is the placeholder for the thousands.

It doesn't... because by trying to identify a nothing, you make it into a something, which defeats the concept of 0, which is nothing. So, the only way to really understand what 0 really meanas is not to try and measure it at all, you have to reduce the concept of 0 to 0! Right? Or.. wrong.
But then that confuses me.. if you have one cent, you have 0.01 dollars. What do THOSE zeros mean?

"ZERO" (why are we capitalizing numbers? Shrug) ZERO exists as much as any NUMBER exists, other than as a congregation of individual members. It is a CONCEPT, an IDEA, the same as FIVE or FORTY-TWO.

We recognize the absence of something. Quantitatively it is zero depending on the parameter. But if we are looking to say that "Nothing" exists, it could not, by it's own definition.

Yes. A perfect vacuum has zero mass, yet has a volume. It takes up a portion of space, so it is there.

Of course it does....it is a place holder in math to distinguish 1 from 10 from 100, etc.
Also it represents something that was here and is no longer.....such as that great pie that has been eaten! LOL
