Physics Week 5: Symmetry and Sacred Geometry

My (a)symmetrical world... I live in a pretty asymmetrical world, both with habits I have that may be unbalanced and with the world I view around me. But I think exact symmetry is more just a symbol of what is, rather than what truly is. Everything, from the way a tree grows, to the way a baby lays in the womb, to music theory, to the way our eyes see, is geometrical and symmetrical in theory, but when it comes down to it, in reality, all people and things are "flawed". Nothing is symmetrical. Life doesn't work in that way, although, in theory, we run on symmetry and are constantly striving for such.

CP Violation (standing for Charge Parity) is a violation of the theory CP-symmetry in which a particle and it's antiparticle should be in perfect mirror image symmetry of one another. This discovery showed that weak interactions violate not only the charge-conjugation symmetry C between particles and antiparticles and the P or parity, but also their combination.

There are many connections between Sacred Geometry and Physics. Sacred Geometry is one way to look at physics in a pictorial way. I think it's an incredible view into the world of Physics and can really help people to see the beauty of the way this world works.
