Chapter 0 - 0 as a placeholder
The symbol '0' was originally introduced to Mathematics as a placeholder. Read on...

The bit '0' represents, in computing terms, a 'zero', or 'off' state. This is nothing that transmits information. Read on...

Chapter Zero - The language of nothing
Zero or none, when used in language, relates to objects, or in other words, is nothing associated with a unit. Read on...

Chapter Absolute Zero - Nothing moves
This is the point at which the thermal motion of atoms and molecules stops completely. It is a theoretical state, not practically achieved not only due to quantum state fluctuations, but also that it could only be achieved by extracting an infinite amount of heat. This is nothing that can never happen. Read on...

Databases contain the concept of nothing, known as a null. This is an unknown or empty state that precedes setting a value such as 0 but can only exist in an established record. This is nothing inside something. Read on...

Chapter No Things - Nothing solid
No things in physical terms equals no mass. A physical space with no mass present can be verified by either using another mass to prove that there is no interaction, or by measuring that energy passing through the space is unaffected. Read on...
-
A physical state containing no energy can only be theoretical due to the background radiation which permeates all space. Read on...

Chapter Minimum - Nothing in between
Pure waves pass through minima, which is at a zero point. This is nothing between things. Read on...
-
Chapter Singular Nothing - No information
Just after a ball of matter condenses to a point where the escape velocity just exceeds the speed of light, no information may pass to an observer but the mass still exists. This is nothing that is massive. Read on...

Infinitely Nothing - Something?
Can we have infinitely nothing? Does an infinity of nothings contain something or nothing? A few thoughts; probably worth nothing! Read on...
