Oh, and just by the by:
Zero is that from which nothing can be taken; and the only number that
when added to itself, yields itself.
Infinity,
is that number which is larger than every other number, including
itself. And although on first blush, it might seem that when
infinity is added to itself, infinity is the result, the truth is that
if this be the case, neither could possibly have been Infinity in the
first place. But then, if we are going to parse straws like
this,
perhaps one could counter that if one is adding anything to zero,
perhaps it isn't really Zero in the first place.
