    Why can't 0 be both positive and negative?
    Community Answer
    In one sense, that is a meaningless and inconceivable condition. In another sense, however, it could be considered true: zero is "more positive" than negative numbers and at the same time "more negative" than positive numbers. (This is a rather trivial notion, however, in that something similar could be said of any number.)
