Something I wonder, is zero everything or nothing? (like technically speaking) Like, I know it's nothing, but this thing I read in a book blew my mind.

Actually, my questions is really, what is the vanishing point?

Zero: The Biography of Dangerous Idea
^ This is actually a good book. I read it and it talked about how in the picture of the railroad tracks or river going away from you, what is the vanishing point? By definition a point has no properties except location, meaning it has no area and can not hold anything else, yet everything not in the picture is held within that point, which is technically speaking, impossible. Does anyone understand what I mean by this?
