  1. A +ve whole number signifies "something" ! say +6.

  2. A zero signifies "nothing" ! 0

 

You cannot subtract nothing from something because "something" is tangible, "nothing" is not.

 

Hence, in maths, subtraction should be expressed thus :

 

* (6 + nothing) - nothing = 6

 

Does "empty set" mean more than what it seems ? :p
