look at a number line, inbetween positive and negative numbers is zero

now look at a timeline we go from 3 BC to 2 BC to 1 BC to 1 AD to 2 AD to 3 AD

following this BC works like negative numbers and AD works like positive numbers meaning that there should be a year zero

plus you always start with nothing, when you are born technically you are zero years old

for calender years year zero would simply mean that no calender year has been completed

and yes the first year is the first year but it's not the first completed year and we count years by how many are completed

thank you for coming to my ted talk
