The Gupta empire contributed much to the world. The brilliant minds of the Gupta Empire invented much of [[Algebra]], the concept of [[zero]] and [[infinity]], the symbols for the numbers from 1 to 9. Gupta [[astronomers]] first proposed the theory that the earth was not flat, but was instead round and rotated on an axis. They made discoveries about [[gravity]] and the [[planets]] of the [[solar system]]. These ideas spread throughout the world through trade.
