There is a difference between zero and nothing.  Zero is a stasis in a' something'  that is the addition and subtraction of something.

Nothing on the other hand exists in no continuum --  because there is nothing there is no something to posit against it.

Nothing is philosophical -- it doesn't exist in our universe -- zero does exist or we have vacuums.

Logically, one cannot "have," meaning "possess," the content of a null set.
An empty can is a container of emptiness. You may have the can, but not the

Well said.  I have nothing to add to this.
