Answer:
Nothing can be zero, but zero isn't nothing. If someone asks you if you have money and you say "I've got nothing!" when you actually don't have a cent, then you have zero money. However, zero is a number, so it itself is something, therefore more than nothing. So technically, you do have something.
When zero is on a number line, you could classify it as nothing, but it is the number between 1 and -1. Hypothetically speaking, if you took the zero away, wouldn't the number line be the same?
Zero isn't positive or negative. The number zero on a graph, or in a coordinate can tell you where something is. Zero can be a word to describe if something is existent, or non-existent.
Okay, my brain hurts.
