WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE!!! THE EARTH WILL BE SWALLOWED UP INTO A BLACK HOLE IN A NANO SECOND, ALL OF HUMAN CIVILISATION, ALL SENTIENT LIFE, HELL EVEN THE SUN AND THE VOYAGER PROBE WILL GET SUCKED INTO IT

Either that or a resonance cascade.

(From Mathworld:)
"The field of all rational and irrational  numbers is called the real numbers" <- 0 = 0/1 is a rational, and thus a real.

(From Wikipedia:)
"The discovery of more rigorous definitions of the real numbers was one of the most important developments of 19th century mathematics. Definitions in use today include equivalence classes of Cauchy sequences of rational numbers;" <- 0 is a rational number, the sequence {0, 0, 0, ...} is a Cauchy sequence in the rational numbers, and thus a real.

"Dedekind cuts;" <- Let A = {a in Q : a < 0}, B = {b in Q : b > 0}. This represents 0 as a real number.

"a more sophisticated version of "decimal representation";" <- 0.0000... is a perfectly acceptable decimal representation.

"and an axiomatic definition of the real numbers as the unique complete Archimedean ordered field." <- Field implies it has an additive identity (0), and complete implies that all Cauchy sequences are convergent ({1, 1/2, 1/3, ...} is Cauchy and thus converges to an element in the real numbers).
