The number 0 is a major turning point in mathematics.❗️

Let's think about it.

The numbers we use every day, like "0,"

In fact... it took humans 4,000 years to recognize it as a "real number."

.

Why is it so long?

.

The answer is

Early humans never thought that "emptiness" should be a number.

.

Back more than 3,400 BC.

Sumerian and Egyptian times

Numbers are only made for the "count of."

.

One sheep.

Two sheep.

But without any sheep?

Those of that generation will answer, "No sheep."

Not "0."

.

Because for them,

nullness = nullness

It's not "the amount of absence."

So 0 doesn't have to happen yet.

.

More than 1,000 years have passed.

Babylonia began to run into some problems.

They use a base 60 numeral system.

And time will write more complicated numbers.

There must be a way to say, "This position is empty, not missing."

.

So a symbol came up.

Serves as a placeholder.

Or "vacancy teller."

.

But it must be emphasized that...

It's not yet 0.

Not yet a "number."

It's only "the telling body here is nothing."

.

And humans still live with this...

Over 3,000 years.

.

Until 628.

Indian land.

Born one of the world's greatest mathematical turning points.

.

A mathematician named Brahmagupta.

Write a book called Brahmasphutasiddhanta

By stating clearly that

.

"Zero is a number with its own mathematical properties, positive, negative, computable."

.

This is the first time in human history.

Where "emptiness" is raised to

Really numbers.

.

But despite how important

0 was still in India.

Not yet spread to the world.

.

Until the 8th-9th centuries.

In the era, Thai land was still in the end of Dwaradi.

About 400 years before Sukhothai.

.

An Arab wise man named

Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi

(The name became "Algorithm")

Leading Hindu-Arabic numerals 1-9 and 0

Let's write math texts systematically.

.

And those texts.

Is the bridge connecting 0 from India.

Into the Western world.

.

Then, in 1202,

Famous mathematicians of Europe

Leonardo Fibonacci

Write a book, Liber Abaci.

Declare that

.

"With the 9 numbers and with the 0 notation, we can write any number."

.

This book makes Europe

Discontinued Roman numerals

There are no zeros, there is no location system, and it is very difficult to calculate.

.

What's more,

It is the point that makes

Mathematics, Science, Engineering, Finance and Technology

Grow up by leaps and bounds.

Because the world had a "numerical system suitable for computing" for the first time.

.

If the world doesn't have 0

There will be no calculus.

No physics.

There is no algebra.

There's no computer.

No AI.

And of course,

There will be no world of engineers as we see it today.

.

From what once humans believed

"priceless."

Become the foundation of human civilization.

.

And it shows us that...

Sometimes emptiness is the most important key to moving the world forward.

.

... Read moreจากเรื่องราวของเลข 0 ที่เราจะเห็นว่าเลขนี้ไม่ได้เป็นเพียงแค่สัญลักษณ์ธรรมดา ๆ แต่เป็นผลจากวิวัฒนาการความคิดของมนุษย์ที่ต้องผ่านการเรียนรู้และยอมรับนานนับพันปี ในฐานะผู้ที่ได้ศึกษาหลายครั้ง ผมพบว่าเลข 0 ไม่ใช่แค่ 'ศูนย์' ที่ไม่มีค่า แต่เป็นตัวแทนของ 'ความว่างเปล่า' ที่มีความหมายเชิงคณิตศาสตร์โดยตรง ซึ่งช่วยให้การคำนวณและการเก็บข้อมูลในรูปแบบตำแหน่งเป็นไปได้อย่างถูกต้องและมีประสิทธิภาพ สิ่งที่ประทับใจคือการที่นักคณิตศาสตร์อินเดียอย่าง Brahmagupta ได้ให้ความหมายและคุณสมบัติของเลข 0 อย่างชัดเจนว่าเป็นตัวเลขที่สามารถบวก ลบ และคำนวณได้เหมือนเลขอื่น ๆ ซึ่งเป็นก้าวสำคัญที่ทำให้เลขนี้ถูกยอมรับอย่างกว้างขวางในเวลาต่อมา นอกจากนี้ การนำเลข 0 และระบบเลขฮินดู-อารบิกเข้าสู่ยุโรปโดยนักปราชญ์อาหรับและ Leonardo Fibonacci ก็เป็นตัวอย่างชัดเจนของการแลกเปลี่ยนความรู้ข้ามวัฒนธรรม ที่ช่วยเร่งพัฒนาทางคณิตศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี ถ้าเราคิดให้ลึกกว่านั้น เลข 0 ยังเป็นตัวแทนของแนวคิดที่ว่าความว่างเปล่า ไม่ใช่สิ่งที่ไร้ค่าแต่กลับเป็นรากฐานที่ทำให้เกิดสิ่งใหม่ๆ ได้ ถือเป็นกุญแจสำคัญหนึ่งที่ทำให้อารยธรรมมนุษย์เดินหน้าต่อไปอย่างไม่หยุดยั้ง ผมจึงอยากให้ทุกคนมองไปที่ความเรียบง่ายนี้ในมุมที่กว้างขึ้นว่าเลข 0 เป็นมากกว่าตัวเลข แต่คือสัญลักษณ์ทางความคิดที่เปลี่ยนวิธีการมองโลกและวิทยาศาสตร์ของเราไปตลอดกาล
