0 is a couple of centuries old?!?!!!!?

You may want to check that one out, you may be missing a zero somewhere there...

Let me Google that for you:

  • early mentionetd of the concept of void in India Like 2k years ago*
  • "In the 9th century, during the intellectual flourishing of the Islamic Golden Age, zero became fully integrated into mathematics. "*
  • adoption to Europe around 12th century*

Yes ok, a couple more than a could, but definitively not an order of magnitude...

That is literally an order of magnitude

If you choose to believe so, I'm not gonna argue on that.
