Theorem ringen1zr

Description: The only unital ring with 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).
