"Although we could now write numbers down and say them concisely, we had not thought of everything. Or to be more precise, we had not thought of nothing. Zero had not been invented -- and that was a big problem."
What would happen if the number system was changed back when it was being first created to not have the same words or symbols that reflect or numerical system?
It is interesting to know when numbers were created. Sometimes I've wonder on things such as this. Almost like asking "how was bread first discovered?" It is good to have background knowledge and knowing how our number system came to be!
