Are we teleporting?

There is no logic assigned to the order of numbers in ordinary summation or multiplication. x*y and y*x are mathematically the same expression. There is just a meaningless ambiguity in writing it down.

That actually makes some sense. o.O But i have a better analogy read below.

Okay,check this out though, 

1 * 3 = 3 
I buy 1 egg 3 times and then i get checked out for 3 dollars.
3 * 1 = 3
I buy an egg that is the equivalent of three 1 egg and then i get checked out for 3 dollars.

That undoubtedly makes sense.I agree.

But look at this:

0 * 3 = 0
I don't buy any egg(s).
I get checked out for 0 dollars.
#I repeat this process for 3 times.
When i leave the supermarket,i have no eggs with me and my cash is not reduced.

3 * 0 = 0
So i go the the supermarket and take a egg,i go to the cashier and then realize that i have no money so i can't pay for it,so i don't get to take it.Okay,that makes sense.

But 3 * 0 = 0 assumes another thing.It assumes that there are no eggs.Which is false.There are eggs,i just didn't have the money to buy them,so i don't have them but that doesn't mean that there are no eggs,objectively speaking.


3 * 0 can have two possible answers. 
0(subjective answer) and also N(objective answer)
Since,math is objective,i should probably go with N.

Another thing
There is just no freaking way that 0 * 3 = 0 and 3 * 0 = 0 is the same.I agree that it is the same with other numbers but not with 0.Hell no.Zero is special.

Any number * 0 is N.Like:

-3 * 0 = N
I am acknowledging the existence of an egg(-3) but i didn't have any money to buy it.This means that there is an egg but just not with me. But there is ambiguity as to the number of egg(s) there is,so the answer would be N.

This is all just too weird.No wonder i couldn't learn math,i'm too thick to grasp even the most simple concepts of it. :|

Edit:

I changed my mind.
Any number * 0 = 1.
or
Any number * 0 = not defined.

Edit 2:

Wait,wait wait wait wait.WAIT.

Any number * 0 = That number itself.

So,

1 * 0 =1
2 * 0 =2
3 * 0 =3
4 * 0 = 4
5 * 0 = 5

but
0 * 1 = 0
0 * 2 = 0
0 * 3 = 0
0 * 4 = 0
0 * 5 =0
