Fundamental Symmetry Studies

Fundamental symmetry studies explore how the basic laws of nature behave under transformations like mirror reflections, rotations, or reversing time. Researchers investigate whether these symmetries hold universally or if tiny violations occur, which could explain phenomena like the matter-antimatter imbalance in the universe. By examining particles and their interactions with precise experiments, scientists aim to uncover deeper principles governing the universe, potentially guiding new theories beyond current models. These studies help us understand the fundamental structure of reality and the underlying order or asymmetries present in nature.
