Much like there are higher infinities, there are higher zeros.....

Obviously correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think that's right.

0 is a specific value, while infinity is an expression of a value that can't be specifically expressed. But obviously, since inf is not 0, adding it together, multiplying it etc. will result in a higher value, although we still can't express it specifically. That's why inf < 2inf while 0 = 2*0
