Eoin Posted February 16, 2007 Share #3 Â Posted February 16, 2007 I was wondering what's in the air in Australia?. Must be some kind of deep mind altering substance not present in the northern hemisphere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kobold Posted February 16, 2007 Share #4 Â Posted February 16, 2007 For the digitally-recent, that dot is the visual representation of the numeral "1". An activated pixel. A pixel touched by a photon. A representation of the numeral zero (invented by the Arabs, when they were the supreme mathematicians of the planet Earth) looks like this: Â Pixels are dots. Dots are good. We live in a worlds of dots, and non-dots. Â The air here is pretty good, actually. We lack water. Â G'night all Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbstitt Posted February 16, 2007 Share #7 Â Posted February 16, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) . Â FANTASTIC Eye!!!! Perrfect composition. Wow, what a display of work. I am impressed. I bookmarked because the work is worth far more study that what can be done at a quick review. Â So you seem a little wierd sometimes, If that is the mark of one who sees with different eyes, and so intently, then more power to you! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

george + Posted February 16, 2007 Share #11  Posted February 16, 2007 I don't want to argue about "nothing" but the number zero was not invented by the arabs.  "The nr. zero was invented independently in India and by the Maya. In India a decimal system was used, like ours, but they used an empty space for zero up to 3rd Century BC. This was confusing for an empty space was also used to separate numbers, and so they invented the dot for a zero. The first evidence for the use of the symbol that we now know as zero stems from the 7th century AD. The Maya invented the number zero for their calendars in the 3rd century AD.  The number zero reached European civilisation through the Arabs after 800 AD. The Greek and Roman did not need the number zero for they did their calculations on an abacus. The name 'zero' comes from the arabic 'sifr'."  (Data from the book "the calender" by D. E. Duncan).  And the above quote comes from: History of Zero  But who cares ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
