Quote: "Zero is the result of a number subtracting from its self"
Question: I wonder how someone who never saw the number will know that? I also wonder about how they would know that a number equal "0" with the other signs like multipucation or division?
Comment: It's pretty interesting how someone can determine what numbers equal to what. But I still don't quite get why the number "0" would be invented. What purpose is it really especially in division when at times you can't divied "0"

QQC 3
Quotes: “It wasn’t merely that he didn’t like to fail; it was as if he didn’t know how to fail.”-pg.1
Question: Does this quote mean like he was too good to fail? Or does this mean that he was so bad that he doesn’t realize that he was failing?
Comment: This quote is interesting because I don’t think I heard someone use it like that. Usually people say that others just don’t like to fail, or is unfamiliar with failing because they’re just too good.”…it was as if he didn’t know how to fail.” This quote makes me question if that’s a good thing or not. If the person is too good or too bad.

QQC #2
Quote: "he did not understand the laws of physics well enough to be able to substantiate his ideas"
Question: This is strange to me. How can someone have an idea but not capable of handling it?
Comment: This part was interesting. I find it weird how someone can even come up with an idea and not understand how they came up with it or what it even means. An idea should be well known to the creator, but how can one be created if in order to understand your own creation, you have to understand something that you're not even familiar with. It's like creating the light bulb and having no clue how to use it or what it's for.

QQC#1
Quote: "What would happened if you traveled to the edge of the universe and, as it were, put your head through the curtains?"
Question: Following this question, what would happen? What would you end up seeing? Is there anything left to see?
Comment: This question brings up a lot of other question about the thought of reaching the end of the universe. Is there really an end? Or is it endless? Is there a huge force filed that won't even allow you to get that close? I have been thinking about this every time someone brings it up. What is beyond the universe that we know now?
