A synonym of nil is the word nothing.

I hope that made sense.

because they are telling the script to function something, then stop
so if i function a car, the script has gotta end eventually
then i'd just say 'nil' to stop the script (not fully, just stop that bit functioning)

"Nil" means nothing. Literally. Say that the string "Test" had a value of "Testing". if you put the code "Test = nil", Test would then mean this: " ". It doesn't even mean zero.

nil = 0

so yes, it means nothing.
Just a variable for 0.

Erm...
> if 0 == nil then
print(Yus)
else
print(Nao)

Output: Nao

So it doesn't even mean 0.

nil/null/nul
all have no meaning, that are a meaningless place value.
they are not zero, but they don't have any meaning.

Non-existant almost. Not tangible? Hard to describe.
