A Conversation for Zero

One possible exception...

I have thought of a time when zero may possibly exist... namely, there is a zero percent chance of me being right about this.

I think that may possibly be a paradox... I don't know.

You better be careful about statements about things like that. A better worded paradox could result in the whole of the universe folding in on itself.

Not a nice thought, I think you'll agree.

It is a double negative again. You could have just said you're wrong.

You're quite right, my contribution was completely pointless... like most things I do, really.

Don't be quite so harsh on yourself there, Roasted (if I can call you that). It was very clever statement in it's own right, and could have, as I said, imploded the universe. This, I can't be sure of, as everybody who's done this hasn't, for obvious reasons, been able to pass on this knowledge. To the best of my knowledge though, you were pretty close. Strong words, softly spoken.

The statement in itself is flawed otherwise it would be an Official Guide Entry (not that I've submitted it). So in that sense this Guide Entry is a complete waste of time and space. It exists for no reason, if you follow that line of reasoning.
