“Symmetry, as wide or as narrow as you may define its meaning, is one idea by which man through the ages has tried to comprehend and create order, beauty, and perfection.” This poetic definition comes from the great mathematician Hermann Weyl, credited with laying the foundation of our modern theory of the universe. Another great physicist, Philip Anderson, said that “it is only slightly overstating the case to say that physics is the study of symmetry.” In mathematics, symmetry was crucial in the foundation of geometry as we know it in the 19th century. Now it could have a similar im...
