What strikes you about the article?
The fact that people came up with zero way back then, and to think that it has traveled around the world and is now used in our daily life's.
How do we decide who discovers what?
I don't think anyone is exactly sure about who discovered zero. it was first discovered in Mesopotamia around 3 B.C, but then it kept being discovered in other places as well. It was later found in India in the fifth century A.D where it was then considered a number.
Who really discovered zero? Is it the person who came up with the concept of zero or the person who discovered the actual number?
I think it would be both. Considering the fact that the person who came up with the concept did not come up with the number, but yet the person who came up with the number couldn't have done so, without there already being a concept.
And how did the entire world come to a consensus without an efficient means of communication?
Well the concept as well as the number zero was made my communication. And im guessing thats the same way it got spread throughout the years.
