Zero the Number # Was Forbidden Taboo & Illegal for Much of Human History

 An unrealistic expression almost of critical essential axiom importance to base 10 math in STEM subjects, & for interacting with the Texas Instruments TI83+ Silver Edition Graphing Calculator that made it from my sophomore year of high school to graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science. I have a made in Japan Mechanical Pencil that made it all that way from grade 10 to graduating college, one of my favorite writing instruments, blue ergonomic well made with great precision, combining pencil & paper with that graphing calculator made it possible to get through all algebra classes, calculus, Boolean logic, computer science python programming, basic, C-sharp, C++, computer tech, information technology, toxicology, ecology, chemistry, physics, all the way into graduate level 500+  courses including Pre-Med to understand physiology & medicine, especially for fitness exercises, how to build muscle mass, becoming stronger, to burn longer, to keep going even during the hardest darkest parts, to become faster, smarter, slightly older, slightly wiser, & incredibly even a way to find peace through faith in Christ Jesus & God the father master creator of all in all realms, who taught me to love myself & forgive people who have wronged me, to forgive myself for my wrongs & sins, to be more loving to my wife & all other people, to fix & repair broken relationships, to make beautiful interactions with other people plausible, then possible to my utter and sheer amazement the kindness of random strangers showing me loving kindness, it brings me to tears thinking about it. 

Zero is a planar slice of a perfect sphere O imaging arraying it about its axis in X Y Z, a circle becomes a sphere & now think of the electron orbits around the nucleus of atoms mostly filled with empty space making everything see-through to a gamma camera for example, like those airport security scanners which are effectively like a color CT scan through you & your baggage. So why would zero the number be prohibited for so much of human history if its a powerful integer tool for unit conversions in STEM & even budgeting & accounting important for nearly every government, every business, every person with income & expenses, how could they invest or save money without zero to denote tens places in larger numbers. It might even sound impossible to do modern basic math of any kind without zero, after all ten or 10 made of one 1 & zero 0, so the zero denotes the total of the base 10 count from 0-9 moving on to 11 & then 20 also just a two 2 with a zero, & so forth. 

Black marks on the screen, letters, your brain makes sense of it magically, automatically, if you read English you can read & try to make sense of what I am saying in these blog postings. Why was zero banned for most of human history? How to zero become such an integral part of arithmetic math & science & aviation & research, of quantification of almost anything that seems partially impossible without the use of the number zero which either means nothing or denotes the next 10th place in larger numbers, like 10, 100, 1000 or 10,000, or 100,000 or 1,000,000 (million) or 1,000,000,000 (billion) or 1.000,000,000.000 (trillion) its bigger than you or me or all of us, numbers can become infinitely big especially with hyperinflation of common currencies fiat like the US dollar or Euro or RMB which tend to gradually progressively lose their buying power with time as all such currencies tend to fail sooner or later via quantitative easing to increase the supply of money, which government with national debt tend to do in order to keep their economies going, since no one elected to public office wants a great depression during their time in office as they would never get re-elected if that happen, so they are willing to do almost anything to keep the party happening even if that means borrowing from future generations to pay existing, current & past debts accumulated through wasteful spending programs that Elon Musk & DOGE Department of Government Efficiency are systematically dismantling because the USA had more than 450 federal programs & many were effectively doing nothing & getting paid for doing nothing, moneys paid to them increasing US national debt, such that effectively DOGE a profit loss audit of the US Government which was last conducted in 1951.
