Mirror symmetry

Mirror symmetry is a concept primarily from mathematics and physics, particularly in string theory and geometry. It describes a relationship between two seemingly different shapes or spaces, called "mirror partners," that reflect each other’s properties. In essence, if you have a complex geometric shape, its mirror symmetry reveals another shape that has the same mathematical features but appears different at first glance. This idea helps scientists understand the fundamental nature of spaces and can lead to deeper insights in areas like quantum physics and the study of higher-dimensional objects.
