Can a zero dimensional object exist? If you had the power to create an universe where you can choose its characteristics, is there a way you can create an universe that admits a zero dimensional object? If you were able to create a zero dimensional object, would every zero dimensional object be the same? In a zero dimensional universe, can there be only 1 zero dimensional object? I didn’t understand the concept of zero dimension really so these might be really dumb questions, I only know that a zero dimension point is just a mathematical concept, but I want to know if there could be something else

A zero dimensional object would be something like an empty list.

A box you could theoretically assign properties but that has none.

So… if it has no properties… does it exist? I’d say no. Maybe in some obtuse philosophical sense you could imagine an empty object, but in terms of actual existence I don’t think that’s the case.
