Summary

This episode is about nothing. Not in the sense that Seinfield was a TV show about nothing, but rather this is literally about nothing. It is about the number zero. A number that few people bother to give much thought to, yet without it, modern mathematics wouldn’t exist and neither would any of the technologies we’ve developed over the centuries. Learn more about the fascinating history of zero, and why it took so long to develop on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily. ================== Sign up for the Travel Photography Academy: http://TravelPhotographyAcademy.com Book your G Adventures tour today! http://bit.ly/EEgadventures -------------------------------- Executive Producer James Makkyla Become a supporter on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/everythingeverywhere Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/everythingeverywhere/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/everywheretrip Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/EEDailyPodcast/ Website: https://everything-everywhere.com/everything-everywhere-daily-podcast/ Learn more about your ad choices.
