Why would a thing that contains nothing be impossible? Quote:Another way to look at is a division by zero. A container that can hold a maximum of 8 things but only has 2 things in it could be expressed as 2/8ths full so a container that holds a maximum of 0 items, no matter how many things are in it would always be expressed as x/0 which is undefined in mathematics.Undefined ≠ not being a container. Clearly the container contains nothing
Are you suggesting that we cannot contain nothing?
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
