Symmetry & the Zero Principle

So the principle of Zero sometimes seems to suggest that one plus can have a number of minuses to get that all pervasive zero. After all, I never said in my previous blog post that there has to be only one opposite to everything. I never thought about it but even when I did think, I looked around and found the answer to it too in the nature itself. The answer is the principle of symmetry!


While I have talked about symmetry a bit in the previous post as well, I never went into why it essentially explains the 1-plus: 1 minus effect. Herein I attempt to do that in brief..

Have you observed that in nature, everything is symmetrical? Consider the human body for example. Isnt it symmetric? We all know it is. And if by any chance it isn't, we call it a deformation, that is, it is not normal to be out of symmetry. Several authors such Werner Hahn, Steven Weinberg have written books on the principle of symmetry and how it shows up in the various forms in nature and so on. While there is no need for me to go into the details of what these authors have written about, the essential principle is the same. 

So, for every plus, there is one and only one minus, to keep in sync with the principle of symmetry in nature. The result sum will always be zero as we have reiterated a number of times by now. This principle we find in nature can even be extended a lot further. Consider this - Going by the principle, and extending it beyond our world, can there be another earth for our earth? Can there be another solar system like ours? Can there be another galaxy like the milky way is? Lastly, can there be another parallel universe to compliment our universe??? Most probably, there will be, and the principle of symmetry might just be the logical proof to why we earthiens are possibly not the only living creatures in this universe!

The World is a ZERO ! (My Principle of Zero)

Wondered why there is a valley for every mountain? why is there a key for every lock? Why a down for every up? Why is no person perfect? Why does everyone with good habits have bad habits as well? Why are there Gods, and then there are demons too? Why do you love someone , and hate some others? Why there are good people as well as bad people? The reason for this lies in the basic thread that binds anything and everything in this world. It is because this world is made in that way! 

The world is essentially a ZERO, or is rather governed by the Zero principle ! There is a positive for every negative and a negative for every positive. Also every positive has an 'equivalent' negative and vice versa, the only thing being that the equivalence is mostly out of a mere mortal's understanding. The sum total of everything is always a ZERO; it is the basic formula of existence of this world. It is the very reason why the world is in equilibrium and goes on, why the earth keeps on going around the sun and why the moon keeps on going around the earth. It is the basic formula by which the world, or dare i say, the universe stays in equilibrium and is not enveloped by chaos.

Balance is the unwritten rule of the universe. It is reflected everywhere in nature and from the very basic existence of a man for a woman, a bad for a good or why most things in nature are symmetric. The 'symmetricity' principle is another one that vouches for the ZERO principle. The nature's way is that of balance. It has in it lessons for leading our life too.The one who will lead  a balanced life, neither too less nor too more of anything will be the winner in life. Anything in excess is poisonous. So is too little of anything. Its should not have been too difficult to live such a life given that that is the way nature behaves and we have all evolved from it as well. But it is man's insatiable ambition that leads him further away from nature and balanced life. Unbalanced life structure is in fact the basic reason for most diseases and problems that people face in today's world. 

There are plenty of laws and scientific theories that in fact have the ZERO theory at their core. One of them is the famous Newtons third law of motion which, as we all know, states that "Every action has an equal and opposite reaction". Coming to think of it after understanding the ZERO principal, it seems even more logical and obvious. If every action is a plus, then its reaction is a minus! The law of gravity too is a manifestation of the principle of zero. Another one it the 'Law of conservation of Energy'. Energy can neither be created nor destroyed and only changes its form. A positive energy is compensated with a negative one. When one kind of energy disappears, there would be left a void, a minus which is against the core foundation of the universe and hence that energy must transform and be present in some other form, a plus which will compensate that minus and the sum total would again be a ZERO !

The principle of ZERO has to be the most basic of theories of existence of the universe. It can be applied to the simplest of things in and around our life. It can applied in a scientific as well as a psychological study. Look around you and you will find it everywhere..The world is indeed a zero !

In The Zone

So I have named this blog "Think Zone"..Why? Very frankly speaking, it had got nothing to do with anything strategic on my part to be naming it so. No, I have not thought anything like this blog will feature only things one might think of in his or her fantasy or so on. I had initially thought of naming this blog 'In The Zone'. This definitely had its reason though. I have always been fond of writing, in fact since my childhood, I have been writing short stories, a couple of which were even accepted for publishing in a children's magazine. I usually feel like writing only when I am in a particular zone of my own. It is a mind zone, not a physical one. When in that zone, ideas, topics and words come easily, in fact they flow from my fingertips (not the pen's tip any more!). All the writers here would agree with me that such a zone does exist, when your mind and your fingertips are so much in sync that you just continue to type and suddenly realize that you have typed a whole lot. I had though of dedicating my blog title to that zone which is really the chief source of inspiration for me creating the blog in the first place. But since the name was not available, I had to come out with a name, and since one of my first ideas about what to write here was something abstract, something that will trigger a though process,  I decided about naming this blog as the "Think Zone". And since I couldn't dedicate the blog name to my inspiration-source, I thought of giving up my first blog-post topic and writing this piece instead. And so this piece is titled 'In the Zone' ! 


Thought of first up clarifying lest anyone stumbling on the block build up huge perceptions about the blog ! However, all your perceptions may not be wrong too. Because this blog will surely contain some imaginative / thought-provoking stuff.. !
Signing off from the Think-Zone for now ! :)
