Mathematicians are intriguing, much like other religious believers. They demonstrate the existence of an equal and comparable counterpart in the negative realm, extending beyond the concept of nothing: zero. They do this with precision, employing signs and symbols grounded in axioms that hold validity solely in the positive physical world.
One may wonder if there were no religious notions of an afterlife, no concept of heaven and hell beyond the void (zero) for our earthly existence, would these mathematicians have conceived the idea of negative numbers?
Should we anticipate a division of negatives based on merits, somewhat akin to a "heavenly negative" and a "hellish negative"?
Or, perhaps worse, might these individuals discover negative numbers before fully comprehending the positive ones, resulting in a scenario where negatives exist both before and after positives, and they turn out to be distinct?
