Where is Wonderland?
a week. Indeed
5 days and a half in what I considered " ilpaesedellemeraviglie ", ie, a region of the mid-europe unspecified with unknown people from foreign languages \u200b\u200band cultures, were enough to realize that the real " paesedellemeraviglie ," the place where strange things happen and incomprehensible, is the country where I lived the last 24 years.
This is not an exception to the Galilean relativism: in some cases it is appropriate, indeed necessary, to make an absolute reference system, whose principles are the reference for comparison with other systems.
And then, just to name a few, I learn on Monday that a renowned radiologist is sentenced to eight years for aiding and abetting the Mafia. The fame and the sentence are not obviously related to his profession as a doctor, but the unfortunate coincidence that the governor also sees the Region. In any civilized and democratic country people would be outraged and the party secretary would have played the card immediately after it suspended from his post at the beginning of the process. In Tristalia leaders of his coalition are competing to see who makes him feel her first love-esteem-solidarity. Other
amazing wonders of our country can be found in the latest episode of report in which the journalist points out one after the other anomalies in the Italian political system.
I speak of "anomalies" as my reference system is obviously calibrated on the Nordic countries, in which certain laws is not even the appropriate to do so because it is natural to think so.
But the problem is not political, and cultural.
As regards my dreams of Mr Tompkins, alas, will have to be resized and not a little.
A thesis which was to be 6 months in Belgium in a global leader in the field (the IBA), has become the first external collaboration with the company and eventually I found myself in exactly the same starting point, one from which I wanted to escape: the university of turin, group therapeutic, medical INFN rib. Not that it makes me sick, but my expectations were very different.
The only thing I can say is patience, rather than experience the thrill of life as an emigrant in a civilized country where you do not need to be taken of recommendations, but just send your resume and you are contacted after 2 hours, for now I'll be sneaking all'univershitty of Taurinum, dreaming of a precarious position as a researcher with project contract to € 900 per month until death separates me ...

Who is Mr. Tompkins in Wonderland?
I admit it.
Some 'time ago planned to close this space to open another one called "Mr. Tompkins in Wonderland", inspired by the book G. Gamow when I received the news of travel to Belgium, to make the argument. And I got in late morning.
Who is Mr. Tompkins is that has to do with the denial and chaos and this blog?
factor. First of all
Mr. Tompkins is a town in a nondescript bank clerk who finds himself thrown into a dreamlike world where the speed of light is about 50 km / h, and fails to understand the amazing effects of the theory of relativity, explained the characters encountered from time to time in that fantasy world. Only a genius like
G. Gamow could imagine to publish a popular book on relativity as if it were a comic book or a film by Mel Brooks.
But you know, Gamow was an eccentric character, a wine lover and student spirit, once declared that God had to be not less than 9 light-years from Earth in the 18 years after the outbreak of war between Japan and Russia, following the prayers of Orthodox Christians, Japan was ravaged by a devastating earthquake: evidence not only of the existence of god, but also the fact that the prayers and the effects of divine providence can travel at most as the speed of light ...
So maximum respect to Gamow, who insisted so much so that his friend Bethe he signed with a landmark article on the theories of nucleosynthesis and big-bang, despite the work was mainly engages his student Ralph Alpher, who compromised so an academic career. For the scientific community, the essay " Alpher-Bethe-Gamow" released April 1, 1948, is considered the cornerstone of the big-bang theory. So
birth, finally. For a while, 'I detach the August Taurinorum, to the north. Netherlands, Belgium, Louvain-la Neuve. Then, perhaps, Mannheim and Nuremberg, Germany, passing from Oslo. To work for the thesis.
Little stuff, no more than two months in all, but enough to feel a bit 'as Mr. Tompkins.
And as the genius of Gamow, who I admire so much, that he had always one for every occasion.
PS
Then you know, reality is never like you 's were imagined, and instead of opening a new blog by that name, I opened another, which has nothing to do with Mr. Tompkins: nomastellanoparty
perhaps become the space devoted to "Paranoia & Power." We'll see, there is no certainty of tomorrow.
I admit it.
