Did nothing always exist or was it invented? 'Nothing ' is zero or nought. It is a very useful idea and it is called by different names. In football, 0 refers as 'nil'. So we say : "Liverpool" has been beaten or two -nil ( 2-0) at home by 'Manchester United '. When you are given marks in a test, you hope you will never get 'nought ' out of ten or twenty. When we talk about the temperature 'zero ' is used. We say: "It is freezing today, the temperature has dropped to five below zero ". The most unusual name for 0 must be that which is used in tennis ' love '; where the scoring goes 15-love, 30- love and so on. Not many people realize that 0 didn't always exist, but was something that had to be invented. Until the sixteenth century , the number system used in Europe was the Roman system which was invented about two thousand years ago. The Roman system is not simple, for example the mark 'X' stands for ten, and 'C' refers to a hundred. A much better number system had been invented by the Hindus earlier. The Hindu system was brought to Europe in AD 900 by the Arabs and sometimes is referred to as the 'Arabic system.' This system is built on a base of ten and all numbers are written with the digits; 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 0.So as all schoolchildren know, 10 means 'ten' and 40 means 'four times ten'.
