The number 0 (zero) does in fact mean something. Zero is a number just as real as 3 or -4. Consider the integers:

{..., -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, ...}

These can be placed on a number line. The greater numbers are found further to the right and the lesser numbers are found further to the left. We find that the value 0 is further to the right than the value -1, so we can conclude that 0 > -1.

Finally, zero is a number just like any other. A unique property of 0 is that it is neither positive nor negative. This means that 0 is greater than all negative numbers and less than all positive numbers. Thus, 0 > -1 because 0 is always greater than any negative number.
