Answer 2

I would recommend the book Zero: The Biography of a Dangerous Idea by Charles Seife if you want to have good knowledge of how the concept of zero came about.

To keep things short, zero first originated as a placeholder and had no numerical meaning to it (invented by the Babylonians). for more info read the book :)

Answer 3

zero is a number.. it is the exact midway point between 1 and -1, and it represents a null set...you are right about it not being nothing.. nothing .. the true vacuum...is devoid of space and time, matter and energy...zero on the other hand is a friendly mathematical notation that indicates a balanced budget.. dont try to divide by it though, because math dosent really understand that concept, and so any time you divide by zero, you know the answer is going to be wrong... just get out your calculator and try it, and it will remind you.. please dont try to divide by zero
