[Musings] The concept of nothing

Nothing is something:

/dev/null
zero
/dev/zero
vacuum
void
oblivion
empty

The fact that we have realized the need for a concept the complete lack of anything says a lot.

Thirty spokes share the wheel's hub;
It is the center hole that makes it useful.
Shape clay into a vessel;
It is the space within that makes it useful.
Cut doors and windows for a room;
It is the holes which make it useful.
Therefore benefit comes from what is there;
Usefulness from what is not there.
