Radiocarbon dating reveals that the time when Indians invented "0 (zero)" is before the theory

About the invention of "0 (zero)" which is said to be "the biggest breakthrough in the history of mathematics" and its significance is highly appreciated, the age in which Indians invented 0 (zero) invented hundreds of years It was clear that it was early.

Not only does it represent nothing but also the value of "0 (zero)", which is extremely important as a symbol of vacancy, can be understood by looking at the following article.

So far, it has been considered that the concept of 0 (zero) was established in India at around 5 century at the earliest. First of all, the notation of 0 (zero) appears because mathematician Brammaguta's book "Brahma · Sutora · SiddhanthaIt is said that it is. At that time, it was written as "" instead of "0", but then a blank circle was drawn inside ●, and it became the notation "0" of the current figure.

This time, the origin of 0 (zero) dates back from the theory is due to the training manual for "Bakhshali" an ancient Indian Buddhist monk. This manual was discovered in Pakistani farmhouse in 1881 and has been in the Bodleian Library of Oxford University since 1902.


The following page in Bakhshali describes "●" meaning 0 (zero).


In the past research Bakhshali was thought to have been made in the 8th and 12th centuries, but since the book consists of 70 different bark pages, it was difficult to specify the correct age about. there,Radiocarbon datingBy exactly examining the age when Bakhshali was born, the oldest bark was found to be between 224 and 383 years. It became clear that 0 (zero) was invented about 500 years earlier than the conventional hypothesis.

As a result of radiocarbon dating, Bakhshali also knows that there is a 500-year gap between the oldest page and the newest page, and how all the pages were collected and knitted It seems that a new mystery has been left.
