When Sheldon Tries to Explain Negative Numbers and Breaks Everyone’s Brain #youngsheldon #shorts

All right, let's talk about negative numbers.

I'm all ear.

Ears. No, ear. This one's clogged. Negative numbers are numbers that are less than zero.

But zero's nothing.

Yes. So how can you have less than nothing? Let's see. How about this? If you have a dollar, that's one. If you have no dollars, that's zero.

But if you owe me a dollar, that's negative one. Does that make sense? I think so. All right, we're making progress.

Mom, I owe Sheldon a dollar.

And if you add negative one and positive one, you get?

Zero?

Correct.

I think I understand.

Good.

One question.

How can you have zero if zero is nothing? Well, it's not something that you have. Zero represents a state of nothingness. What does that mean? It's nothingness. The absence of somethingness. Trust me, zero is a thing. But you just said it's a nothing. I did. Which is it? A something is a thing. But you just said it's a nothing. I did. Which is it? A something

or a nothing?
