Zero Definition and 1000 Threads

Gonzalo Raúl Barrios Castro (born April 17, 1995), known by his gamertag ZeRo, is a Chilean former professional Super Smash Bros. player and streamer. He was considered the best Super Smash Bros. for Wii U player in the world throughout his career, with a record-breaking 56 consecutive tournament wins in the game from November 2014 to October 2015, including high-profile tournaments such as EVO 2015 and The Big House 5. Prior to the release of Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, he was a top ranked Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Project M player. His best known characters are Diddy Kong in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, Pit in Project M, Meta Knight in Brawl, and Fox in Melee. He is the only player to have earned more than US$100,000 playing Super Smash Bros. for Wii U competitively.
Barrios retired from professional competition in July 2020 following allegations of sexting two minors in 2014, which also led to Barrios' sponsors cutting ties with him. Barrios later publicly admitted to the allegations.

    Fourier Transform and zero wave-vector

    I am not sure if I am crazy, I am not a mathematician or physicist by training, but I recall doing some work where if I was interested in the limit of a function in "r space" as r-> Infinity I could just use the value of the function in "k-space" at 0 to get the value I was interested in. Is...

    Can A Tensor Multiplied by 0 Produce a Null Tensor?

    Mutiplication of a scalar by a 0 gives 0(scalar) And also one proves in linear vector spaces that a vector(|>) combined with 0 by multiplicative law gives |0> . Similarly can one prove that multiplication of a tensor of say rank 2,by 0 will produce a null rank 2 tensor.

    How can light have momentum if it has zero mass?

    How can light have momentum if it has zero mass? The relativistic expression for the momentum of a massive particle is p=mγv. It's possible to get confused if one tries to apply this to a particle with zero mass, since it seems as though the result would have to be zero, and yet we know based...

    Checking weather any positive number is zero or not

    I would like to have a function f such that f(0) = 0 and f(x) = 1 for any x>0. I can compute f in the following way: f(x) = (2*x+1)/2 - (2*x-1)/2 . Here the division is integer division. But if x=0, here we divide (2*0-1)/2 or -1/2, which is a problem. Because we do not have any number -1...

    Charles' law and absolute zero

    According to Charles' law, volume decreases with temperature. Extrapolating down towards absolute zero, and the volume of the gas will be zero. How can this be possible? Surely any amount of gas will still have to take up some volume in space. Can multiple gas molecules really occupy zero volume?
