Debate about Nothing+Quote

Neil deGrasse Tyson hosts a conversation about what we mean by nothing and questions like why there is anything at all. This sort of conversation illustrates how people grounded in science think about complex topics at the limits of what we know.

At one point Neil asks whether anyone resisted the addition of zero to mathematics and the answer given is "the Greeks" and it is demostrated by the way they used Babylonian systems that included zero (as an angle mostly) for certain calculations the were too cumbersome in their system, but converted the numbers back at the end.
