"Nor is Ø the same as nothing because a set with nothing in it is still a set and a set is something. The empty set, for example, is the set of all triangles with four sides, the set of all numbers that are bigger than nine but smaller than eight, and the set of all opening moves in chess that involve a king."
– David Darling, The Universal Book of Mathematics: From Abracadabra to Zeno's Paradoxes
All the world's a stage and all the men and women merely players. But the players are gone. The set is empty. Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything, what are you? What will you do when you are nothing?
The Empty Set seeks to show the world a way from nothing. Ex nihilo nihil fit. Everything we know is nothing.

"Nothingness does not have the rather grim significance we attribute to it. It is identified with a limit-experience of light or, if you like, with a state of luminous absence, an ever-lasting radiant void."
– E. M. Cioran, Anathemas and Admirations
