Symmetry in Fundamental Particles

In the man-made architectural marvels scattered all over the world, the sense and the knowledge of symmetry that the man acquired has been manifested. To mention and explain a few of them, which have been spread over the span of centuries of the development of human civilization, the Tajmahal of Agra, the pyramids of Egypt, the Eiffel Tower of Paris bear marvelous symmetric structures (Figs. 9.12-9.14). The Cathedral of St. Basil in Moscow is an architectural beauty, which though deviates from geometrical symmetry, yet is an example of asymmetry in symmetry in architecture (Fig. 9.15). [Pg.91]

We have so far seen some natural examples of the presence of symmetry, for example, mirror plane of symmetry in animal bodies, rotation and roto-inversions in precious stones, flowers, and leaves, and now it would be interesting to note that the mirror plane of symmetry is also present in the world of fundamental particles. We know that the atoms are made of positively [Pg.91]
