You are kindly invited to sign this Zero Online Petition to attempt to settle once and for all the continuing controversy in the world, among mathematicians and laymen alike, as to when, where and why the zero digit was invented, and if possible to determine who the genius was that first thought of it. The innovation of the zero digit as a number alongside the other numbers is widely hailed as one of the greatest inventions ever as far as its impact on mankind is concerned, compared to the domestication of fire or the invention of the wheel.
