Perfectionist-ic Blog Post- Nothing

I'm back from the void of not posting blog posts, and back from the terrible truth known as blogging for grades. Since this is a perfectionist-ic blog post, i would try not to make mistakes, or what we call 'screw up' this blog post.

So what am I going to talk about in this post? Nothing. Yes, that's right, I'm going to talk about nothing. What is defined as nothingness? From dictionary.com: nothingness is the state of being nothing; something that is nonexistent. First, I will bring in a fallacy that is more of a joke than a real statement.

We consider the two statements. Nothing is better than eternal happiness. / A burger is better than nothing. Thus, we conclude that a burger is better than eternal happiness. Yes, that was taken from Wikipedia. In this case, the first nothing has the definition of an absence, an impossibility of a thing, while the second is meant by having no item. Thus, the nothings are not equal, and thus this fallacy is illogical. But this was meant as a laugh. Here comes the real topic.

In mathematics, zero is an important number, but that was when real maths came in. Before that, it was just a placeholder. For instance, if you were a shepherd and wanted to count your sheep, counting zero sheep would be useless as you would end up to have nothing. However, now zero is important is many mathematical problems. For instance, a quadratic equation, which is a²x + bx + c = 0 is a way of creating and getting solutions for everyday answers.

In science, a state of 'nothing' is impossible to generate, as a space, even as a vacuum, would have gravity and electromagnetic fields. Also, a vacuum would take up some space as it needs to be stored in a sort of universal container. Thus, usage from literature and science about the concept 'nothing' has significant differences.

To that, I end my post on nothing. If you, my dear reader, do not understand my blog post above, well, you don't understand nothing. =D

Cheers,
