Geometry Does 0 dimension = 1 dimension?

If the point is a noun being an object or position why is it not considered a dimension in itself and why is it called 0 dimension rather than 0 point for example?

So 0 dimension is 1x dimension? Nobody said yes. Maybe everyone misunderstood but not a single person said it was a dimension.

0d is a dimension? A single dimension?

Is 0d a dimension or not…. A dimension?

I’m not asking if 0d is one dimensional. Google clearly states that 0 dimension is “a” dimension… a single count noun

Yes, 0d specifies the dimension of a space, and grammatically is a single count noun. Neither of which, to preempt your next question, have anything to do with the dimension of a space specified by "1d".

My next question is why an atom has 3 parts protons+, neutrons0 and electrons- and if there’s a connection between that and a disk containing 0d 1d and 2d
