Wir haben unsere alten Wohnwagen in den Wald gefahren, weil wir schlecht Ostern rufen, Ostern aus dem All herausstigmatisieren wollten, wo nur faule Matratzen darin sich stapeln, hängen wie Stangenbohnen. Ach, wenn wir den Leistenbruch im Wohnwagenwald nur heilen könnten, wäre froher Sinn an unserer schmalen Hand.

However, in the 1960s, Dr. Nambu, who was born in Tokyo in 1921, suggested that some symmetries in the laws of nature might be hidden or “broken” in actual practice.
A pencil standing on its end, for example, is symmetrical but unstable and will wind up on the table pointing in only one direction or the other. The principle is now embedded in all of modern particle physics.
“You have to look for symmetries even when you can’t see them,” explained Michael Turner of the University of Chicago, who described his colleague as “the most humble man of all time.”
In 1972, Dr. Kobayashi and Dr. Maskawa, extending earlier work by the Italian physicist Nicola Cabibbo, showed that if there were three generations of the elementary particles called quarks, the constituents of protons and neutrons, this principle of symmetry breaking would explain a puzzling asymmetry known as CP violation. This was discovered in 1964 by the American physicists James Cronin and Val Fitch – a discovery that also won a Nobel prize.
C and P stand respectively for charge and parity, or “handedness.” Until then, physicists had naively assumed that if you exchanged positive for negative and left-handed and right-handed in the equations of elementary particles, you would get the same answer.
The fact that nature operates otherwise, physicists hope, is a step on the way to explaining why the universe is made of matter and not antimatter, one of the questions that the Large Hadron Collider, the new particle accelerator now preparing for operation, is designed to explore.

The middle, the state of Zeroness has to do with extremes.
Mediality is a response to extremes. It can be found via connection, a connection between extremes. Connection is a construction.
A construction fueld by compassion.
I wonder wether the compass has something in common with compassion,
with compassion that Journalists should have with others,
with terrorists for example, as Buddhist monk Thich Nhat Hanh argues in Indian Newspapers “Times of India”.

Is something between positive and negative,

between plus and minus,

between extremly rich and extremly poor,

between children working at night in order to prepare holy statues for selling and newspapers advertising healthy yogi moments in lifestyle hotels,

between soldiers who fight for their regular income and a political structure that buys combat helicopters,

between a nation that is engaged in a prestigious run to moon

and a nation that admires a monk who talks about non-me elements,

a culture which challenges foreigners to find their way in the middle between all this,

a middle, a form of zeroness.

One newsline says that India will become a nuclear power.

Another newsline says that terrorists are victims.

Both news are spread around Gandhis birthday in Indian newspapers.

Both news formulate possibilities of Indias future role within the global community:

One extremly peaceful: A power which connects and which is compassionate.

One extremly fearful: A power which will dominate less powerful nations.

Both possibilities are ways of dealing with zeros.

India is embarking for a mission to the moon. 2014 the nation will be in the orbit and reach the moon with an own spacecraft.
In the meantime others are buiding flexible timeships in order to reach the orbits of Indian history. This is a history of dealing with zero and nothingness, a history of discontinuities which fuel the mind with a manifold of different rhythms.

One single number should determine our life: 1.

Greater has no peace or rest,

A calculator counts furter

Who can say at what number be stops?

This question gnaws Paracelsus. (Zukofsky A 12, p. 178)
