    0^0 has no value,

    let us look to these 2 functions

    y=0^x

    y=x^0

    0^0 is the point of intersect of these equations

    but

    y= 0^x = 0

    y= x^0 = 1

    so how does 0=1?

    but u r right to put it in law & ethics, as u r speaking about 'law' of power

    not really! look at it this way:

    0+0=0 ( nothing+nothing=nothing)

    0^0=0 ( nothing ^ nothing = nothing)

    logically isnt it?
