Andy Blatchford, expert on nothing.
Nothing is the name for Zero, da nada, zip, nowt. It is among the most important numbers available
This was not a number in the roman world as the concept of nothing was not, at that time, part of their philosophy. But what did the romans know about philosophy? The greeks had forgotten more than the romans ever knew.
Today in the modern digital world the only two numbers that are really important are zero and one. These are the alternate states of existance of a bit (a binary digit), All other numbers are constructed from these two states - and that is the magic of computers.
As I have the task of keeping this thing updated If you want to put something on please send it to
