Just for clarity, we are very cavalier in discussing 'nothing', but are we talking metric or imperial, here? What units are we using in measuring 'nothing'? Is 'nothing' under discussion here a zero reading in inch, millimeter, kilogram or pound? This is VERY important. Spacecraft have been lost due to a miscommunication of measuring units. The data sent back by those spacecraft amounted to nothing, simply because one technician worked in kilograms whilst the other in pound.
