“Yet, despite the symmetry of the laws of Nature, we observe the outcomes of those symmetrical laws to be assymetrical states and structures.”

— John D. Barrow

Nothing in physics seems so hopeful to as the idea that it is possible for a theory to have a high degree of symmetry…

Symmetry is what we see at a glance.

The biggest conceptual change over the last 100 years in the way physicists think about the world is symmetry.

— Lawrence M. Krauss
