I think a vacuum is a good representation for NULL or zero for that matter
(though that is not true under quantum mechanics).
And you get zero/null point when you create a barometer properly (using a
mercury column puts a vacuum at the top).
Now whether or not you label that null point with the symbol "0" is up
to the implementation.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Software is NOT governed by the laws of physics.
It is intangible--abstract. It is governed entirely by the laws of mathematics,
and nothing else.
(The physical machines we use to execute software have some
physical-world-derived limitations... like the limit on the amount of memory
they have, or the occasional cosmic-ray-induced single bit error. But software
itself is not governed by physical laws at all--thats what makes it
"software" and not "hardware".)[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
