What is "nonzero"

Usage examples of "nonzero".

The same reasoning might lead to the conclusion that even unwrapped strings have a minuscule yet nonzero minimum mass.

There is a small but nonzero probability we will succeed even against these new human reinforcements.

Surprisingly, recent research on the detailed rate of cosmic expansion suggests that the universe may in fact incorporate a very small but nonzero cosmological constant.

A challenge to string theory is to provide a compelling explanation of present and future neutrino data, especially if experiments ultimately show that neutrinos do have a tiny but nonzero mass.

This presents a wonderful challenge and opportunity for string theorists: Can calculations in string theory improve on this mismatch and explain why the cosmological constant is zero, or if experiments do ultimately establish that its value is small but nonzero, can string theory provide an explanation?

It was supposed to be impossible for an object with nonzero rest mass to travel at light-speed in Einsteinian space, but there it was.

And-because this is not the same thing- which aspects of life do we perceive as zero or nonzero sum?

What had previously been a zero sum game had suddenly, because of a piece of news from the outside world, become a nonzero sum game.
