I see it sometimes when I am loading a page and it doesn't work or something. Im tech savvy in some ways but I dont really know what it is. There really isn't a problem or anything, just wondering.

null is another word for "nothing".

it is not zero.
it is not an empty string.
just nothing.
empty.
void.
zip.
nada.

hence, you get null on a broken page.

got it? :)

It's what we're going to experience after we die. Null.

I thought it was from latin: Nullus.

The word at hand is "Null", not "Nullus". That is why I was talking about German.

Or you would rather continue to oppose your Prince? :D

Null also means something to be made free.

Usually nothing. In some cases can mean "Non-existent"
