Re: [Finale] 0 / 0 = 0

I have a vacuum, a nice Kenmore -- and it cost me a lot more than nothing, so please don't say it doesn't exist (although the box WAS rather light on the way out of the store!)

There is a difference between zero and nothing. Zero is a stasis in a' something' that is the addition and subtraction of something.

Nothing on the other hand exists in no continuum -- because there is nothing there is no something to posit against it.

Nothing is philosophical -- it doesn't exist in our universe -- zero does exist or we have vacuums.

Logically, one cannot "have," meaning "possess," the content of a null set.
An empty can is a container of emptiness. You may have the can, but not the

Well said. I have nothing to add to this.
