How Many Zeroes Are There? |
Cantor and others who have studied transfinite numbers or infinities
maintain that there are many and even hierarchies of such.
But is not the inverse of each such number the corresponding zero?

"Booze and Cantor's Theory of Infinite Sets," just the thought of the
combination makes me shutter. I read Theory of Infinite Sets once, and
afterward I understood why ol' Georg spent a period in a sanitarium.
But to answer your question, I beleive so. The inverse of 1 is -1 and so on,
thus the inverse of ? ^ ? ^ ? is still 0.

It's an occupational hazard.

There are no zeroes at all.
This is because zero is not a number, but is actually a mathematical concept
used to mean 'nothing'. By definition you cannot have multiples of nothing.
Therefore, there are 0 zeroes.

If A is a transfinite number and B is its inverse then AB = 1. There is
no such B. B=0 does not work.
