Theorem ring1zr

Description: The only (unital) ring with a base set consisting of one element is the zero ring (at least if its operations are internal binary operations). Note: The assumption R e. Ring could be weakened if a definition of a non-unital ring ("Rng") was available (it would be sufficient that the multiplication is closed).
