A series of nine talks in which scientists talk about concepts crucial to their field of study
6: Symmetry by PROFESSOR S. TOLANSKY
Royal Holloway College, London
All of us have some general notions of what is meant by symmetry. To a scientist the concept of symmetry is probably more important than to most people, because he tends to associate it with simplicity. Yet nature very rarely indeed offers up true symmetry-what we usually see is an imperfect symmetry-and only when we get down to a sub-nuclear level of study do we find perfection in the arrangements of things.

Mr. Dyson argues that in several of Wordsworth's major poems it seems ' as though two poems were coexisting in the same body, by some symbiotic relationship in the creative act.' He examines the Lucy poems and Resolution and Independence with this approach in mind.
