It depends on how your looking at it.

If you mean for the middle to be zero, than it has no opposite. It is right in the middle of the number line.

However, if the middle is 1 (Like with division) than the opposite of zero is infinity. To explain, we will use the fraction 1/x. The smaller x is, the larger the number turns out to be.

x = 5, 1/x = .2

x = 1, 1/x = 1

x = .05, 1/x = 20

So, we must assume that when you divide 1 by zero, the number with the smallest absolute value, the answer must be the biggest it can possibly get. It must be infinity.

In binary computing, the opposite of zero (off) is one (on). But they are not additive opposites. Zero may be considered it's own additive opposite, as only zero plus zero can equal zero.
