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.
