Zero education

I realized when that worthless theoretical mathematics appeared, which we are stuffed with in modern schools in order to squeeze it out a natural, objective understanding of the world!

When the remarkably round and flat "zero" appeared …

And actually, when?

You can take a walk to the usual place to look for an official point of view on any account, i.e. to Wikipedia, where you will find out that "in ancient Greece the number 0 was not known", in Sanskrit (considered an ancient language, although it refers to Hindi in the same way as the artificial Latin of the 15th-16th centuries - to modern Italian, which was written even the authors of the Dante project) it “was called by the word sunya, that is, emptiness or absence”, the Arabs called it “siphr”, the Egyptians “used the hieroglyph nfr to denote zero,” but … “in their (Egyptian mathematicians) number system 0 is absent ".

Do you get the idea? The concept of "emptiness" and "absence" had to be somehow designated, and it was designated: some with a stick, some with two sticks, some with a wedge, some with a donut. They indicated, but counted. And this, you see, is a little different things.

In the same place, Wikipedia mentions a time closer to us, namely Europe of the 17th century, when the outstanding English mathematician, forerunner of mathematical analysis, John Wallis (actually, he is Wallis) wrote that "zero is not a number." Further we read literally the following: "In arithmetic works, a negative number was interpreted as debt, and zero as a situation of complete ruin." Why Wikipedia called zero a "negative number" I do not know, but I do know that in Wallis's homeland to this day the concept (mathematical) that we call either "zero" or "zero" (which is considered equally correct) may, depending on from the field of application to be called cipher, naught, nought, nil, null, zero, pad, o (read like "oh") and even love (when it comes to zero in sports score). Moreover, translating Hamlet, I discovered that the authors of the Shakespeare project used in the dialogue between Ophelia and the Danish prince before the performance of The Mousetrap, an obscene play on words based on zero, which was also denoted by the word nothing and in appearance implied female dignity (Hamlet sits down between Ophelia's legs and makes the innocent poor woman say "nothing" several times, which should have amused not only Hamlet himself, but also the audience in the auditorium, who is well versed in such things) …

And only at the very end of the article the curtain over the date of the appearance of zero in the account is slightly revealed by the phrase "The works of Leonard Euler especially contributed to the complete equalization of it in rights with other numbers."

Leonard Euler was, as we certainly know, simultaneously a Swiss, German and Russian mathematician. He wrote over 850 fundamental works in mathematical analysis, differential geometry, number theory, approximate calculations, celestial mechanics, mathematical physics, optics, ballistics, shipbuilding, music theory and other fields. Born in 1707, he lived in St. Petersburg for half his life. They say that some of his descendants still live in Russia, although this is no longer so important.

Much more important is what the article dedicated to him in the Russian-language Wikipedia is silent about, but that I personally always imply in such scientific geniuses and find it quite easily: along the entire path of Euler's formation and development, they were taught, supported and nurtured by those who are responsible for the fact that we today we call it "science", be it history, astronomy, physics or mathematics - the Jesuits. They owned the magazines in which he was published, they stood at the departments of the universities where he studied and taught. If the reader wondered what education Copernicus, Galileo, Bacon (the head of the Shakespeare circle) received, as well as countless famous and completely unknown personalities like Lemaitre, who gave Einstein the Big Bang theory, or Chardin, who accidentally found the Piltdown man, which brilliantly confirmed the theory of Charles Darwin (more precisely, his grandfather, who remained behind the scenes), although after 40 years the find turned out to be a banal forgery … in a word, if the reader is aware of the topic of the Jesuits as the creators of the modern "scientific" worldview, then well done, if not, then this is a separate topic a lot of research.

Now closer to the subject of my short article.

When “zero” appeared as an equal number for addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, then the mathematical brainwashing of the universally enlightened public began. Why “ubiquitous”? Didn't you know that the entire system of free "education" for the masses was introduced into our everyday life … hmm, alas, yes, all the same restless Jesuits.

And it is very important to understand the main thing - what came of it. Here are just two examples.

Everyone who has received a free (and today it is paid, but exactly the same) education knows that if you add 0 to the number (that is, nothing), then the original number remains, and if you multiply by 0, then … 0 remains.

Now let's look at this theoretical conclusion from a practical point of view. Do you have a family. Let's say you are 3 people (or 5 is not the essence). 0 came to you, that is, no one came. How many of you are left? As much as it was. Let's repeat the initial conditions of the problem, only now we will multiply your family by 0. How many of you will be left? Just do not get caught up in numbers, present them in objective form: mom, dad, you. You were multiplied by 0, and you … are not left?

At this point, those who have had A's in mathematics begin to show bewilderment, which sometimes turns into rage, because, well, it's somehow strange, the author says "brad", he's not about that …

What about? Three people multiplied by zero is clearly not zero. We see and feel this. But mathematics - theoretical, Jesuitical - like any of their "science", be it physics or astronomy, says "Don't believe your eyes." What is emerging is that today more and more often it turns out to be a diagnosis not only of an individual person, but also of entire nations - cognitive dissonance. One part of the brain understands the stupidity of what is happening (or in any case senses some kind of catch), and the other shouts “Don't pay attention! If anything - open the textbook! ".

When I start expressing such thoughts aloud, and even more so writing on the Internet, my educated (although the theory starts to slip on images, as can be seen from the previous unpretentious example) opponents usually laugh, rub their hands and cite a lethal, in their opinion, argument to the contrary they say, without this theoretical mathematics, and even more so without zero, I could not use my computer, because I, an idiot, do not even know such elementary things that all computers work thanks to a binary code consisting (surprise, surprise!) of ones and … zeros.

It's great that they think so. But I have a counter question for them.

If we go back to the beginning of this article and remember that our Indian, Egyptian, South American ancestors knew the concept of "emptiness" and even somehow designated it in their own way, would it be a mistake to write down the thing that we today call "binary code" is not in the form 001010010010111, but let's say, like ABBABAABAABBA? Or siskin-fawn-fawn-fawn-siskin? For some reason, it seems to me that my opponents will be foaming at the mouth to prove that with such a mockery of mathematics and especially cybernetics, well, literally everything will change. The computers will stop. But I think that it was they who, with their fears that computers would stop on the night of 2000 (remember this "Problem 2000" or have you already forgotten?), Allowed the cunning Jesuit companies to earn huge profits on its … solution. By the way, just then, on the eve of 2000, for the first time, doubts crept into the adequacy of even the most "educated" people, my bosses, whom I, a stupid marketing director, suggested not to wait, like everyone else, for the night from December 31 to January 1, and so no longer pay someone money for "protection" and "back-up data", but translate the calendar in computers and stupidly see what will happen …

And what do you think?
