What is the difference between zero and nothing, is there any to start with?
Google it you fucking mongoloid. You're just asking for definitions.

Nothing is the absence of everything
zero is the absence of some quantity
>>8183352
Then if you're talking about the quantity of everything, then zero and nothing mean the same thing, which is particularly PROBLEMATIC since depending on the perspective, something may be everything.
For example, you are everything for me, despite you just being someone.

Nothing is O, zero is |O|.
The 'type' of zero is 'whole number' and its content is the additive identity.
'nothing' has neither type nor content. It is void.

Addendum: if you can typecast 'nothing' as a 'whole number' then you may get something whose content is zero.

Jus because under some circumstances they represent the same thing doesn't mean that they are the same.
>>8183348
Zero is often defined to be empty set in set theoretic approaches to defining the natural numbers, so in a sense, zero is a set of nothing.
>>8183348
Zero is a mathematical concept, nothing is a philosophical one
>>8183348
0 = mathematical concept
Nothing = qualia/bullshit heuristic concept
