Mathematics has not measurement unit (is not applied yet to anything). Please do not confuse 0 (abstract, maths) with 0 tigers (concrete, physics or whatever). | |

| Sep 16, 2011 at 3:51 | comment | added | Scott Barnes | Context. Its moot point. If you have 0 of something and 0 of anything, you still have a measure of 0. If you apply context and subtract the unit of measure then yes you are dealing with two seperate entities.. thus you can apply a weighting against the purchase of the unit of measure dpeending on | |

| Sep 14, 2011 at 3:53 | comment | added | Rom | It's true because for every a, 0*a=(1-1)*a=1*a-1*a=a-a=0 (by the standard axioms of a field en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Field_%28mathematics%29) | |
