In theory, science, and math; can a negative exist without positive?

No troll

>and math
Leave math out of this. These words mean something different in math.
They mean different things in science too. You need to specify and define what the hell you're talking about. Otherwise this is just gibberish.

No. Now guess what I'm saying no to.

>can a negative exist without positive?
Certainly, the set of negative numbers under the operation of addition is closed, no problem.

>>7975455
construct the negative numbers without the positive numbers and show that negative numbers are not isomorphic to the positive numbers

Negatives do not "exist".

>Negatives do not "exist".
Of course they do.
Just look at electricity.
Neither of Kirchhoff's laws would make much sense without treating some electrical currents and voltages as negative.
What about the altitude of Death Valley relative to sea level?
etc.

What's with the related threads thing on /sci/.
Opie can't be content to start a single thread, noooooo, we've got to get 4-5 variants on the same thread over a three day period.
Your thread was shit yesterday, and it will be shit today too.

Negative and positive in electronics are just arbitrary labels, you could just as easily call them "blue" and "green" and it works the same

>>7975524
Define "existence", then.
