Is zero plus zero actually two?

Question

Zero actually represent none of something not nothing. an empty space plus an empty space is two empty spaces not just an empty space.

Answer 1

Rephrase the question - "Is zero plus zero actually two zeros?"
-Definitely Yes

Answer 2

No actually it is 2(0), and ya know if you have nothing no matter how many times you have it it is still nothing.
Think of it this way, if your teacher called you and another student in front of the class. If she gave $1.00 in an envelope to one student and $0.00 in an envelope to the other. Which envelope would you like to get - why?
Now suppose she handed each student two envelopes with the exact same amount in each and you were the one to get $0.00 - would you be happy?

Now how much do you have?

Answer 3

An empty space has volume, so it is considered one unit of empty space. A zero would be nothing. No volume, no space, no nothing. Nothing + nothing = nothing.

Answer 4

Sure. But not in the same metric. Two null sets (of measure 0) can certainly be counted as 2 sets. But the sum of their content is still 0.

Answer 5

If you have nothing in one hand and nothing in the other hand and you put your hands together, you still have nothing in both hands. However, if you want to see creative ways mathematicians calculate with zero, check out fractals and chaos theory. There, both zero and infinity are used to arrive at usefull results.

Answer 6

No, because, an empty space is one empty space.

Answer 7

Am I dreaming? You should have categorised the question in Computers. If two proper sets are not taken in BASIC then it shows two integers whose value are 0 sums up to two.

Answer 8

No.
0+0=0(binary addtion)

Answer 9

may be that 0+0=0 if taken as quantities it will be equal 0.but if counted as digits, i think is equal to 2 ?

Answer 10

It is true with a touch of emotion!

0! + 0! = 2
