Zero Gravity Corporation (also known as ZERO-G) is a Fort Lauderdale-based company which operates weightless flights. The company operates a modified Boeing 727 which flies parabolic arcs similar to those of NASA's KC-135 Reduced Gravity Aircraft. Current ticket price is approximately US$3000. Ansari X Prize chairman Peter Diamandis is the co-founder, chairman, and CEO of ZERO-G. A number of notable passengers have been on weightless flights run by the company, including Burt Rutan, Buzz Aldrin, and John Carmack.

Zero-sumZero-sum describes a situation in which a participant's gain (or loss) is exactly balanced by the losses (or gains) of the other participant(s). It is so named because when you add up the total gains of the participants and subtract the total losses then	ZerothThe zeroth item is the initial item of a sequence, if that sequence is numbered beginning from zero rather than one. In that case, when using the word "first", it should be made clear whether the common meaning "initial" is meant, or the special meaning "	Zero-bit insertionZero-bit insertion is a bit-stuffing technique used in data transmission protocols to ensure that six consecutive "1" bits never appear between the two flags that define the beginning and the ending of a transmission frame. When five consecutive "1" bits
