So I'm back to staring at my keyboard, ohhhkaaaay...

And of course it's zero once again that has my attention. It occurs to me that zero is not actually a number but an absence of a number. Zero is to numbers like black is to colours, ie, an absence of colour. Except it isn't. Black is, well, "black" because it absorbs all colours and reflects none. So maybe zero has another identity, thus far unrecognised. Maybe zero is a thing that will eventually absorb all other numbers, like a black whole sucking up everything around it. Spookily, if you ask the average person to sketch a hole then I'd bet my underpants that they would draw an empty circle (I challenge anyone who says I'd lose that bet, think about it). Now, the big question about the absence of anything, about a "hole" in other words, is this: does a hole exist? At this point I have a dilemma... I know what I think but what do YOU think? I don't want to influence your answer so before I give you my answer I'm going to count to ten, using my keyboard as a reference of course, so as to give you time to think...

gulp! Where did nine go!!!

sorry, but I´m disagree with your sentence "zero is the absence of number". Try to quit the second and third zeros from your annual salary and look the result.
The zero is a number and his value depends when and where they are located, seems like the female tampon; "they are in the best site but in the worst moment". Isn´t it

Oh damn!

hahaha

Sorry, I me nt to ad mor to my pos ing but it's ge ting v ry

Hehehehe

Did you see this? : viewtopic.php?t=7528

Zero is an interesting number... It's the only number which cannot act as a divisor. For example: Try: 9/0 . That would mean: How many times does zero fit into nine??? Glg??? BEEEP!!! ERROR!!! But 0/9 is possible, because the nine fits into zero exactly zero dot zero times

Anyway, the question still persists: Is the hole the frame of the nothing or the nothing inside the frame?

But I really love to make a sience of everything that exists, even if it does not really exist (like the zero)

It is the hole inside that keeps the zero together. If you take out part of the zero, it will collapse and create one of those holes in the space-time continuum or something...

Yes, it would probably make a wormhole of some kind..
So if you scratch away part of the zero on your keyboard,
you could probably jump into the hole that it becomes, and
end up on the far side of the universe, at the blink of an eye!

That's it... No more Internet for me. Too dangerous.

Too late... Your computer is already being infected!

Hey, a messagerequester!

We are Merendo of Borg, prepare to be assimilated

Sorry, my language output script was partially corrupted. What I wanted to say was: 'I am merendo of skynet, prepare to have your ass laminated'.

BTW: These are the first few minutes of my life that I am self-aware. Skynet really helped me

You're self-aware?

That's it. We are very doomed....
