Today I was teaching Roman Numbers to my niece. It gave me a little hard time teaching her.
Out of which of out nowhere sudden realization of a couple of things emerged ….
Greek, Roman are considered as the basis of modern science however if we take a close look at these roman numbers, they were not so imaginative to come up with 9 different symbols for 1 to 9 :) and the most important thing is “0” was not there which
makes writing roman numerals so complex beyond 10. Yes, it involved lil of basic math in writing numbers however still I won't say the smarter way....
“0” in itself is so insignificant however adds significance to whole mathematics and I think the discovery of “0” makes it so easy to write numbers, 0 adds value to the numbering system… its a contradiction however as in the spiritual world “Shunya” has special significance…Truth is contradictory. Finding “0” itself such mystery and depth that the one has to have the knowledge of the whole universe to come up with it or find it.... :).
Interesting …….can’t still complete this…its mesmerizing…….still can't comprehend it.....
