Mathematicians having existential crises since 300 BCE! The question "what is a number?" seems simple until you dive into the rabbit hole of mathematical philosophy. Is it a concept? A symbol? A property? The empty set (∅) is literally defined as "the set containing nothing" yet somehow forms the foundation of all numbers in set theory. Zero was controversial for centuries, and don't even get me started on imaginary numbers. Next time someone asks you to count to 10, just stare into the void and question reality instead.
