Where Is Zero?

Where’s zero? Really. Where is it?

If there are, and I mean that if. If there are any positive “numbers.”  Where are the negative “numbers?”

The quotes are for another day.
But numbers refer to “points” of an infinity. There are no numbers in infinity, not even a “one” or a “zero.” 

What!?! How can we measure anything, including “time?” There I go again, with the quotes.

From what exemplars can anything be “measured,” gotcha.
Where would we be without water? There goes the metric system. Where would we be without ammonite fossils? There goes a stone weight. 
Without dried barley grains, well, there goes the inch.

It has been said, and mathematically proven, that all is “one.”

What if there is no “one?”

Well,

Everything just is.

We just is.

Does that sound familiar to anyone?
