    mikotodondria has a point.

    "nothing" is a way too abstract concept as it could be expressed in a symbol. this thread is full of emptiness, but that´s a totally different thing from nothing if you think it through. nothing doesn´t exist in reality/nature, it exists only in mathematics I think. therefore there can´t be any fitting symbols that represent it, except for the mathematical ones.

    • there are plenty of things that evoke the idea of 'nothing'._salisae_
    • I really don´t think that we come across the real nothing in everyday life very often.

    • It´s more something for philosophers or theoretical mathematicians, no?

    • I hear you, but the symbols, the everyday symbols stand for something else, really?
