SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the mathematical axiom that 1 multiplied by 0 equals 0, emphasizing its validity within physical reality. Participants explore the concept of zero as a physical state devoid of energy, matter, information, space, and time, establishing it as a foundational reference point in mathematics. The conversation also touches on the distinction between multiplicative and additive groups, asserting that 1 and 0 serve as neutral elements in their respective contexts. Ultimately, the thread concludes that philosophical debates are outside its scope, focusing instead on measurable definitions of reality.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of basic mathematical axioms and operations
  • Familiarity with the concepts of multiplicative and additive groups
  • Knowledge of the null hypothesis in scientific discourse
  • Awareness of the relationship between mathematics and physical reality
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the implications of the null hypothesis in mathematical contexts
  • Explore the definitions and properties of multiplicative and additive groups
  • Investigate the philosophical implications of zero in mathematics and physics
  • Study the relationship between measurable reality and mathematical abstraction
USEFUL FOR

Mathematicians, physicists, philosophers, and anyone interested in the foundational concepts of mathematics and their implications in physical reality.

Could someone give an example where this axiom 1*0=0 is absolutely true?

About Nothing(0):

The null hypothesis is that nothing, zero is a physical reality based mathematical conception which we can perceive as an energy, matter, information, space, time free state. Revealing as our common physical, mathematical, philosophical origin, a physical reality based mathematical reference point. I state that in proportion to this physical reality based sense(conception) everything has some kind of mathematically expressible value. Space, time, information, energy, matter.

The hypothesis is based on the fact that space expands and time evolves which points out that our current moment is bigger than the moment before. Following this path backward on the timeline of the physical reality we arrive to the lowest possible physical state, which I perceive as a space(time), energy, matter, information-free state. 0. In proportion to this state, everything has value. Everything has mathematically expressible value. Space, time, energy, matter and information.

What are ##1## and ##0##, i.e. about which mathematical sets do we speak here?
They are usually the neutral elements of a multiplicative (1), resp. additive group (0). As long as there is more than one group and one written multiplicatively and the other additively, they are distinct per definition. So yes, absolutely true per construction.

We do not debate philosophical questions here - at least not anymore. You can find a lot of existing threads to those keywords, so if you are interested I recommend to do a forum search. The term reality has a clear definition for us: Real is what is measurable. Mathematical terms cannot be measured, they are a tool for description and prediction.

I'm not quite sure what you want to say, and even less, what this has to do with mathematics.

As I mentioned above, since we do not discuss philosophical aspects of reality and existence, this thread is closed.
