It is essentially neutral for it signifies a number that isn't there
because it lacks quantity. It is the symbol for nothingness therefore
it isn't odd nor even. For example, take the addition of all numbers
from -infinity to +infinity, what do you
get?...zero!...nothin!....nada! The sum of everything is equal to
nothing!
In physics, the conservation of energy states that no energy can be
created or destroyed. Therefore, if you add up all of the negative
potential energy in the universe with the positive kinetic energy, you
get NOTHING!....hence the total energy in the universe is zero.
Therefore, we are all essentially made up of nothing.
Sleep tight!
