Zero is a number which is said to mean nothing.The only time it has a value is when it follows a counting number or when it comes before the counting numbers in a decimal.

"Zero zero" is not a mathematical operation.

One application of the term is in aviation safety, where it describes a type of ejection seat that will take the pilot clear of the aircraft at zero altitude, zero indicated speed. Which means if a pilot has an emergency while on the ground, or if he is about to hit the ground, the ejection seat will rocket him away. Unfortunately, it will not help as much if he is moving downward at high speed and ejects too late.

The proper noun Zero Zero was a comics publication from 1995 to 2000, produced by Fantagraphics Books.

It is also the name for a restaurant in San Francisco, CA.
