This one is a bit counterintuitive. My maths teacher explained it like this. Take a look at this graph. If you approach zero from the positive side, it looks like the line goes to infinity. If you approach zero from the negative side, it appears to go to negative infinity.
Is it both, is it zero, is it all the values? The canonical answer is “undefined”.

It’s just as true a statement to say each of those 0 people at a billion slices of pie.

The pie went bad and disintegrated. Its energy got reconverted into the 0 that is all.
If its not clear i was not being all that serious with my last comment. Re constructing math from my own first the principles of math is something i prefer to do as a hypothetical mind game rather then to find a real profound breakthrough.
