Hi there. I am new here and I would like to discuss something that has been on my mind for quite a while now.
It started out as a joke. It was how the two numerals of Zero, when put together, looked like the symbol for infinity. Thus, zero plus zero equals infinity. It didn't really make sense at all. But then I started to think for a while, and came to a conclusion.
I believe Zero is a term referring to an entity of nothingness; an empty space with no walls and nothing inside of it. Absolutely nothing is inside and yet it has no floor, ceiling nor walls. With that being said, the expression "0+0", theoretically speaking, will yield no such answer. Why? Because "nothing" plus "nothing" can't be possible. "Nothing" is a singular entity, and nothing like it can ever exist. Even if there is a possibility of alternate universes, there can only be one "nothingness."
But is that definite?
What if, there is a separate "nothingness" aside from another existing one? I'm just imagining that these two "nothings" would collide, and burst into what we know as "Infinity."
This thread might not make sense. But I just wanted to share my thoughts.
