Was watching Engineering an Empire on the history channel and the episode was covering the Mayan empire.
They were talking about how the Mayan empire “created” (don’t remember the exact wording used) the concept of zero. Which aided them in the designing and building of their structures and temples. And due to them knowing the concept of zero they were much more advanced than European empires/civilizations. If that’s true then how were much older civilizations able to build the structures they did without the concept of zero?

Theres a spiritual teaching of zero or nothing that i dont think i seen here yet. Its an ancient advanced spiritual teaching from a book called the kabbalah. If you add all numbers together, they come to zero. If you balance the universe out its supposed to come to zero too but apparently there’s actually some discrepancy in the universe that’s causing an imbalance between matter and anti-matter and shows as a temperature different in the CMBR that shouldn’t be there and is why this ‘reality’ exists at all. Before the big bang and whatever causes the discepency there was nothing. Zero is the sum of everything, -1 + 1 = 0, -2 + 2 = 0 etc and is nothing all the same. Infinity breaks down in a singularity to 0 or nothing. Nothing exists by virtue of its own properties so wasn’t created by anyone or anything just is. You can’t have less than nothing so nothing has to exist and by nothing existing then everything exists since nothing is the sum of infinity. Kinda mind fucky but makes sense right? Could probably have been explained better but you probably get the gist and could look into the kabbalah more yourself if you were interested. That’s just one tho. Similar concept is found in Eastern belief as the void, eternal nothingness, abyss (like the abyss that stares back?) Its interesting to think about 0 not being nothing, but everything, most would never come to that realisation on their own. Reconciles the whole something from nothing argument and breaks out the loop of, who made that? Like who made the universe? God. yeh but who made God? Nothing. Who made nothing?? Nothing. It just exists by virtue of there not being something. If there is no something then there is nothing, and how could there be no nothing, so isnt there something which is nothing?
