Three talks by 0. R. Frisch , F.R.S. Jacksonian Professor of Natural Philosophy
In the University of Cambridge 3-Strangeness and Parity
For a long time it has been known that energy and electric charge are conserved — In other words, they can neither be created nor destroyed.
. Recent research with fundamental par-rides has revealed more such quantities, and also the fact that two of them-those designated as ' strangeness ' and ' parity — are only conserved for very brief periods of time. Philosophically the non-conservation of parity is of great significance because, since it was discovered three years ago, it has fundamentally altered views on the symmetry of the universe as a whole.
