12/11題目內容

Fearful Symmetry

主講者: Wolf

日期: 12/11

時間: 7:00pm

地點: 中大YIA 410

 

 

Symmetry prevails around us, in art, in architecture, in everyday objects.

Humans have cherished symmetry since antiquity. However, does Nature herself share the same artistic sense with us?

 

She need not be, but she is.

 

With our incomplete knowledge, we already see the fundamental laws that rule all the complexity in this universe, is full of simplicity, elegance and symmetry.

 

I will try to show how Nature has cherished symmetry in her laws, and how symmetry has become the beacon in guiding research in fundamental physics.

 

“The eternal mystery of the world is its comprehensibility ... The fact that it is comprehensible is a miracle.” –Albert Einstein

 

 

No Physics knowledge required.

Imagination recommended.
