I needed to reply once more, André.

In 1992, I discovered how the prime numbers were organized (published in 2000), and the surprise was that I had to use zero to explain one step in that organization.

As such, I knew that zero is functional (or better: can be functional), and that at the overall level the idea of unification was out, nothing more than an improper fantasy that physicists entertained.

To understand the beginning of the current/material universe, we must also understand how the human brain functions. Exactly the zero spot of nothing can at times get filled in by fantasies, so we must be careful how to progress.

In general, without a context we cannot have a truthful contents. So, applying a single word to the overall level of the universe is not the way to investigate reality.

We talked more about this already, so let me just point to an article I wrote about using the quarks and their existence to tell the story about the beginning of the material universe.
