IAN: The zeroth law of thermodynamics seems
circular to me. It states that if you have
two bodies A and B, and the temperature of
A = B, and you have another body C, the
temperature of which equals that of
A and B, then A = B = C. Gasp!

My law of zero-temperature says that the
temperature of All (such as the whole uni
verse, all space and time) is zero, since
the hottest part of All is as much hotter
(+) than the coldest parts as the coldest
parts are colder (-), and this equal and
opposite symmetry sums to zero difference.
This is also true for any subset of All.
Of the time period covering 24 hours, the
temperature in a room has points/periods
that are hotter and that are colder, and
the net difference equals zero. Since any
numerical temperature is measured by its
difference from temperature = zero, and
since 1 - 1 = 0 and 0 - 1 = -1, net dif-
ference/temperature always equals zero.
Everything is a state of difference,
and net difference always equals zero.
This is the Great Void known as Brahman.
