Maths says 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 = 0. But in real the entire universe has come
from nothing.

Is our maths flawed then?

0 + 0 - 0 + 0 - 0 + 0 is still 0 but it is a sequence of addition and
subtraction just like day and night and birth and death! (Math surely
is not flawed!)

This is the explanation for "om purnam adam purnam idam purnat purnam udachyate"which I read somewhere.
Please correct me if I am wrong
 
The Personality of Godhead is perfect and complete. And because He is completely perfect, all emanations from Him, such as this phenomenal world, are perfectly equipped as a complete whole. Whatever is produced of the complete whole is also complete by itself. And because He is the Complete Whole, even though so many complete units emanate from Him, He remains the complete balance.

Dear Ganesh ji,

As I understand, the entire universe has come from pure consciousness - this is wrongly seen as 'nothing' --- Pure consciousness is 'everything'. Absence of physical aspect does not mean nothing.. The very physical 'space' on of the pancha bhootas, is not nothing and did not come from nothing. it translates as 'nothing' for our senses... our Indian intellect says that nothing is not nothing but most potent and pregnant , pure conscious Self.

Does that mean there is never a 0 in actual? An absolute 0 cannot be
achieved. So, why have it?

There is always a "1"??

e.g.
0°C = 273.15K

But in true sense heat is always present. For a person in Kashmir the
feeling for warmth is different than a person in Mumbai.

There can never be a 0 or negative number in practical usage.

For colder temperatures we should have had 0.001, ...0.000001 etc. But
we see usage of numbers such a -1, -2 for things which are present.
Which is strange. Can anyone explain?

Dear Dr, Dear Learned Friends,

I am presenting as to what I have understood... I am open to and invite correction to my understanding in order to better my knowledge and understanding that I have. Kindly let me know if what I expressed here is indeed right.

Ganesh ji, thanks for your query that opened up this opportunity.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As I understand..

Say, if you are very hungry and have had only a banana or fruit juice, you could still say, you have had 'nothing'.

Say you really had nothing , literally nothing to eat, still energy exchange takes place (you gain/lose mental energy, physical and psychological energy or change inner states of being)..

So wrt us, humans, we may evolve a practical '0' ... but in reality, absence of what we need in the required quantity is 0. i.e. 0.00001 may be called '0'.  But logically we need a convention to say nothing and that facility is given by '0'.  This is a world of relativity, names and forms.

We exist, even when our body becomes '0'. Does that mean we became '0' ?  Not at all... '0' means lack of the specified quantity at acceptable levels. That's it..

Some siddhas can go in and out of physical manifestation. they can be 0 or >0 in their physical form as they wish. It does not mean, 0 cannot give rise to non-zero.

In summary - Self is NOT shunya!!!

Nirvana is NOT shunya!!

Nirvana is pure, unlimited Sachidananda or Consciousness...

There is NEVER an absolute zero but in our mind/world that needs conventions and names and forms.  Empty Space is NOT a full zero, there is still SPACE. WHich means there is still something which can HOLD a physical object. There can be no object without a ROOM for it. SPACE is indeed physical and NOT a ZERO yet.

I suddenly recall my father's favorite paradox he keeps playing with at times -' can there be everything in nothing and nothing in everything'  ?  

There is Self and rest everything is a variant of Self expressing itself in our minds... Mathematics is in the mind, in the manifestation only...  not in REALITY of The Self.

Self is potent and pregnant with possibilities of manifestation... but Self itself is Unmanifest.

That's my submission...

Sri Gurubhyo Namaha!

Sri Ganeshji
 
As far as temperature is concerned, we encounter negative temperatures because the melting point of ice has been assigned the value 0 on the Centigrade scale. One could use the kelvin scale where the 0 is at a temperature -273 degrees Centigrade and is the temperature at which all molecular vibrations cease.
0 is a concept (as are all numbers). Its utility? Without 0 (developed in ancient India) ther would beno decimal number system or modern day computers!

I understand what you are trying to say. But having a scale affixing 0
(the non existent) to something existing? and then adopting that as a
"standard" to determine the presence (amount) of heat?

Following this scale even below 0 heat is obviously present?

How do we see a scale that starts its measurement excluding the 1st 1
meter of the wooden block and calls it non existent? and then calls
the other remaining portion of the wooden block as negative?

Only adding "1"s this universe can exist. Just guessing...

Purnam = complete, full "0"
That 0 (unknown) - This 0 (known) = Remaining 0 (Never changing,
Unclassified as known or unknown; the basis)

Purnam is the source as well as the ultimate goal. This is achieved by
joining both the ends of the measuring scale to make it infinite. when
it is split the "scale" appears to be of finite measure.

I arrived at "1" upon guessing consciousness being ever present.

how did you arrive at "0"
