Answer: From a mathematical point of view, the answer is as follows: Nothing is a set and zero is a number. Nothing is the empty set, i.e. the set with no elements. While zero is the carnality of the empty set, i.e. the number of its elements. It is still representing an amount of something.

i might be wrong
