I can't get my brain to comphrehend what the opposite of zero would be. Infinity is something else entirely and zero is just a number??
did I just find out that I'm low IQ?

In what way? You're not being conceptually precise here.

what do you mean opposite?
What is the opposite of 5?
if you say negative 5, all you are saying is the distance on the number line from zero in the other direction.

The definition of "opposite" is the inverse. the additive inverse of a positive is a negative, the multiplicative inverse is the reciprocal.

0 has no multiplicative inverse, and it is its own additive inverse. The complement or negation of a set has nothing to do with any notion of an "inverse".

wrong. zero doesn't exist. its a placeholder symbol, therefore youre multiplicative inverse/reciprocal/additive inverse is the incorrect terms here, when you negate nothing you get something.
