Nothing

[Pyrotex]

If you think you know nothing about nothing, then perhaps you should think about thinking.

perhaps not thinking is the key the thinking nothing, if you could somehow stop thought for a moment would it be impossible to restart it?

Of course, because as we know from Boerseun's earlier post:

The former is the null set--that is a *set* containing nothing--while the latter is the set containing zero.

No, null is the value indicating no value, stand alone, with no containing set as in:

Ceci n'est pas une valeur

I apologize for this post that has substance. We now return you to your regularly scheduled nothing.

Is nothing surreal,

[Jay-qu]

heresy, nothing cannot be scheduled! It is merely what happens when nothing is scheduled

[Boerseun]

If Mark Knopfler were to rewrite his famous '80s song, would it be
"57 kazillion websites with nothing on..."?

[Pyrotex]

Mark Knopfler????

Boerseun, I must conclude that we have nothing in common.

[Boerseun]

...which goes to show, don't type crap if your knowledge of a particular song's writer amounts to absolutely nothing.

- and I was referring to my post, not yours.

I was just tryin' to keep a thread ticking over where the topic is: nothing.

Didn't you just break the unwritten rules of this thread by mentioning empty, zero and null, but not nothing?

You alluded to it by mentioning empty, but that doesn't necessarily mean nothing

Ooookay, I can feel a BBSOD coming on. Must re-set brain by drinking some beer....
