Zero is essential for calibration and measurement from "summary" of Zero by Charles Seife
Zero is the point from which all other numbers are measured. It is the reference point against which all quantities are judged. Without zero, we would have no way to calibrate our measurements. We would have no way to say that one thing is larger or smaller than another. Zero is the foundation upon which the entire edifice of mathematics is built.
In the world of measurement, zero is the point at which there is nothing. It is the point at which there is no length, no weight, no volume. It is the starting point from which all other measurements are made. Without zero, our measurements would be meaningless. We would have no way to compare one thing to another, no way to say that one thing is longer or heavier or larger than another.
In the world of science, zero is essential for calibration. It is the point at which all instruments are set. It is the point at which all measurements are taken. Withou...
