There are zero pillows in the world...
whoud they exist?
Like i could also say there are zero feres(random word) do they exist?
If i define zero with a thought does it not become something?
Does this mean, zero can not exist unless there is an area for it to exist in.
Area being thought or area being there are zero plantes on the "roof".
Yet there could be an infintie number of nothing on the roof.
There are no apples on the roof there are no chickens on the roof.
Yet to say there are zero somethings in the world, would something exist?
Any help would be great on this threory
ESP. a link.

a word is just a word. the word zero could mean 1000 or the word pillow could mean rock. the definition of the word relates the meaning of what your trying to day.

there are zero braincells in your head. depending on my definition this statement could mean something different than what you think it means.

things come to exist in our mind first because what makes its existance is the words that define it. (not physical objects) playing with words show you that they dont really belong to objects but language. then what is zero? its a word that exists at first. than does it define something. it defines nothing actually but nothingness itself. using zero with etc. pillows is an abstract idea of science. there are billions of zero things every where. then we must go to an other dimension to define it. this would be the ideological existance of the concept. the 0 point in history. what does it define. does it make us believe things in constructing an mis-understanding of the time and space around us. this goes on and ooon...

0 is something - namely the number between -1 and 1.

Nothing is the description of a condition-the condition where space is void of matter.

Nothing exists - because the definition exists - not because it describes a condition where things exist.

There can never be an infinite number of nothings. You would have described an infinite number of containers which HOLD nothing - and that is different.

Dude....!
Is 0 a positive or a negative #....it's a neutral...
when you link it to an item then you are denying its existence NOT identifying it...
THAT simple!
to give it too much thinking!!!
