Jul 17, 2008 - The Symmetries of Things by John H. Geologists, mineralogists especially, deal with symmetry all of the time, and some of the most amazing naturally symmetric things I've ever seen are minerals. Apr 28, 2010 - I hope that it is sufficient to suggest to the interested reader the possibilities for an analysis of history in terms of subtle symmetries. That's pretty heady stuff, but we'll take it one piece at a time. It is a beautiful edition with great pictures. Patterns are usually patterns in some space. Feb 28, 2011 - One may claim that rotating disks exist only in the laboratory and in `real life' there are no such a thing as unlabeled actions. Jul 31, 2012 - This time Gross told us that he has heard of something that may answer the question. The Higgs boson breaks electroweak symmetry spontaneously. Feb 3, 2011 - It also represents an important visual and spatial link to history—something that is still valued in societies that are grappling with the flood of cultural signifiers from outside. Nov 15, 2010 - This bias towards matter can be explained in the language of science, mathematics, with a slight imbalance in the symmetry between matter and anti-matter. One would be right, I think, with a caveat: In real life there is also no such a thing as labeled actions. Jun 27, 2013 - (The term was coined by John Conway in his book The Symmetries of Things. Write it down and use it to impress your friends. Apr 18, 2011 - I was surprised that your symmetry episode didn't talk to any mineralogists. Dec 12, 2007 - This makes sense, because a symmetry describes what doesn't vary even as things change—the solid truth beneath the superficial difference. We cannot think about the world without thinking of it in historical terms. Conway, Heidi Burgiel, and Chaim Goodman-Strauss is out. Oct 29, 2008 - Now, the notion of symmetry grew out of things like reflections or rotations of objects in space. Nov 6, 2011 - There is something odd about the experience of learning group theory.
