Without the research to which I was led by the zero spirals of Transfigural Mathematics (TfM), I am sure I wouldnt have come across some of the great books, if not the greatest of them all, that have come and continue to come my way on and about the Zero. Name them, The Nothing that Is. A Natural History of Zero by Robert Kaplan; Zero. The Biography of a Dangerous Idea by Charles Seife; Patterns in the Void. Why Nothing is Important by Sten F. Odenwald. And without these spirals and the numbers from which they originated, I wouldn‘t have been interested in these books at all. And without being interested in these books, I would have lost the story of the romance about the implications of Zero for the whole of mathamatics, the Void for science and religion and Vacuum for physics. I didn‘t know about these things until fluid logic numbers were born. And when the zero emerges as that from which everything originated as contained in the zero spirals, I still would not know the depth all this was taking me until I began to ask fundamental questions about how it all began and what things are made of—all of which took me into the mystery of being and the world in which we live. Fluid logic numbers originated from meaning resulting from content and context. E- very logic number as everything in this world has content which has no meaning without context. We can therefore say that meaning is at the centre of context and content. In this case since zero is at the centre of things, it is also the origins of meaning. This leads to a lot of questions. These questions are tied to issues. These issues are to be found in mathematics, science and religion. Now, in dealing with these issues which are about zero and zero, we shall enter the world of zero through the books above. In doing this, we shall show why in the final analysis, the nagging questions we ask ourselves, the fear of darkness of the Void, and how the conflict between faith, the fountain of divine intuition and the seat of creative potential and knowledge that pastures on reasoning, are all resolved by zero which gathers to itself the outer infinity without and spirals inward to itself the inner infinity within. Now to the books, beginning with Charles Seife: “At the zeros of the universe, logic fails. Quantum theory and relativity fall apart. To solve the problem, scientists set out to banish zero yet once more and unify the rules that govern the cosmos. If the scientists succeed, they will understand the laws of the universe. We would know the physical laws that dictate everything to the edges of space and time, from the beginning of the cosmos to its end. Humans would understand the cosmic whim that created the big bang. We would know the mind of God. But this time, zero might not be easy to defeat.The theories that unify quantum mechanics and general relativity, that describes the centres of black holes and explain the singularity of the big bang, are so far removed from experiment that it might be impossible to determine which are correct and which are not. The arguments of string theorists and cosmologists might be mathematically precise and at the same time be as useless as the philosophy of Pythagoras. Their mathematical theories might be beautiful and consistent and might seem to explain the nature of the universe – and be utterly wrong. All that the scientists know is the cosmos was spawned from nothing, and will return to the nothing from whence it came.The universe begins and ends with zero. (Seife, Charles, pp 214-215)” At the core of this problem is that the zero of mathematics and that of physics are not the same. When physics talks of absolute zero this has nothing to do with the zero of mathematics, the land which the n of physics which shuts it away also from the infinity of mathematics fears to Journal of Transfigural Mathematics Vol.1 No.1.2008 05
