Gradually they have become the backbone of our theoretical formulation of physical laws.","author":"Tsung-Dao Lee","tags":["beginning","china","chinese","laws-of-nature","nobel-laureate","physics","power","science","symmetry","theory"],"id":30802,"author_id":"Tsung-Dao+Lee"},{"text":"In it's purest form, an act of retribution provides symmetry. The rendering payment of crimes against the innocent. But a danger on retaliation lies on the furthering cycle of violence. Still, it's a risk that must be met; and the greater offense is to allow the guilty go unpunished.","author":"Emily Thorne","tags":["crimes","guilty","innocent","payment","retaliation","retribution","revenge","revenge-tv-series","symmetry","unpunished","violence"],"id":136531,"author_id":"Emily+Thorne"},{"text":"No human face is exactly the same in its lines on each side, no leaf perfect in its lobes, no branch in its symmetry. All admit irregularity as they imply change; and to banish imperfection is to destroy expression, to check exertion, to paralyze vitality. All things are literally better, lovelier, and more beloved for the imperfections which have been divinely appointed, that the law of human life may be Effort, and the law of human judgment, Mercy.","author":"John Ruskin","tags":["asymmetry","effort","expression","imperfection","judgment","mercy","symmetry","vitality"],"id":169908,"author_id":"John+Ruskin"},{"text":"He remembered a version of himself untrammeled by expectation, unimpeded by Ego. He had suffered in the many years since then, seeking to return to that original self, if, in fact, it ever existed. And yet, he was helpless but to regard that unmistakable fear that gripped him in his dream as a sign that his unevenness lent him now to utter incongruity with this specter of past.","author":"Ashim Shanker","tags":["ego","emancipation","incongruity","liberation","loss-of-innocence","past-and-present","purity","remembrance-of-things-past","specter","suffering","symmetry"],"id":179226,"author_id":"Ashim+Shanker"},{"text":"Here we have both a paradox, and a beautiful symmetry. It is a duality.

When one pauses to consider the elegance and the beautiful perfection of the mathematical reasoning involved and contrast it with the complex and far-reaching physical consequences, a deep sense of respect for the power of the symmetry laws never fails to develop.","author":"Chen Ning Yang","tags":["chine","chinese","complex","elegant","laws-of-nature","laws-of-physics","math","mathematics","nature","nobel-laureate","perfection","power","reason","respect","science","symmetry"],"id":411273,"author_id":"Chen+Ning+Yang"},{"text":"Golden Ratio is a powerful mathematical constant woven into the very fabric of biology. It is the unique visual tension between comforting symmetry and compelling asymmetry, and its thoughtful application can bring beauty and harmony and intrigue to all manner of designed things.","author":"Darrin Crescenzi","tags":["beauty","biology","design","golden-ratio","harmony","mathematics","symmetry"],"id":420063,"author_id":"Darrin+Crescenzi"},{"text":"Even if a particle could travel backward in time, information could not. Retrocausality will be replaced by something more sophisticated. There are no perfect symmetries, there is no pure randomness everything is an approximation of something else. Information may appear in a digital form but meaning never does. Spacetime is built up from approximations, not discrete ones and zeros, and the only constant may be ratios. Quantum entanglement and geometry; if we think of a particle as being at one pole of an expanding sphere that is not perfectly symmetrical, this surface would be 'rippling' like the surface of the ocean (in the audio world this is called dithering), at the other pole is the entangled particle's pair and it is a property of the sphere that gives the illusion of connectivity. This is not a physical geometry, it is a computational geometry. Is spacetime a product of entanglement? Renate Loll believes that time is not perfectly symmetrical. Her computer models require causality. Possibly some form of quantum random walk in state space. If a photon is emitted by an electron inside of a clock on Earth and it travels to a clock four light years away, time stops for the clock on Earth and time jumps forward eight years for the distant clock also, the electron that will capture the photon becomes infinitely large relative to the photon but the electron that emitted it does not become infinitely small therefore, time is not perfectly symmetrical.","author":"R.A.Delmonico","tags":["entanglement","information","space","symmetry","time"],"id":424708,"author_id":"R.A.Delmonico"},{"text":"Don't confuse symmetry with balance.","author":"Tom Robbins","tags":["balance","symmetry"],"id":445078,"author_id":"Tom+Robbins"}],"pagination":{"page":1,"page_size":10,"total":12,"pages":2,"next":"?page=2\u0026page_size=10"}}
